Learn about how to be a quality digital photographer here.

Have you seen the bylines of Webographers with the majority of the photos on our website? "What is a Webographer?" you ask... Clow School has over 140 of them. They are first, second, third, fourth, and fifth graders who volunteer to be photojournalists and document Clow kids learning for all the world to see.

How our students Webographers in training
become Webographers

Thanks to a grant provided by the Junior League of Kane and DuPage County and fundraising through cell phone and printer cartridge redemption, we were able to purchase new Canon cameras. Webographers began the year learning how to use our new cameras. First students learn how to take a quality picture. They  learn to check their backgrounds, lighting, and subjects for appropriateness.

Students have their own personal SD card to use. Clow students are fast learners. Students get their camera, sign it out, pick up their SD card  memory card and are ready to go. Learning how to sign out a camera

Sometimes when the camera has been used a lot, a Webographer might have to change the batteries. Each student knows how to replace the batteries so that the next person can be ready to go too. Webographer in Training
