I found it difficult to find articles on Digital Imagery but I did come across this short and sweet article. It's called Digital Imagery in the Mathematics Curriculum Concurrent Summary, in which it describes using digital imagery in math classrooms. A professor states the using digital imagery in mathematics are good for connecting concepts, and analyzing the concepts as well. In this article it states examples of things digital imagery could be used for such as ratios, proportions and etc. It also shows us lessons such as artists who use the golden triangle in art, studying ratios, and finding measurements by using a vanishing point on digital pictures.
This article interested me because it shows a connection of digital imagery and education. A professor shows how we can use mathematics and digital imagery to help understand concepts as well as finding out how math exist in our own environments. It's a different twist on using digital imagery and really shows how advance our world has become with technology.
I believe further research should be done on how to incorporate this idea into school systems everywhere and see how childrens score measure against their previous ones. I personally hate math but I think if digital imagery was invovled I would have been able to make connections easier and succeed.

I thought it was interesting when you talked about how digital cameras were used in math to find the vanishing point. Math can be hard to make more interesting so if even small changes like this can be applied. Also, I agree that there should be more research because then maybe other things can be added to math curriculums later!
I like how you said that digital imagery canhelp make the subject more interesting. I know that in school we always complained about how we were never going to need to use this stuf in real life and what are they doing today? They are using the math in real life. i agree that our world has gotten more technologically advanced and that we should be using the digital camera in the classrooms more and more.
