Digital Cameras in the Classroom

Digital Cameras are: Immediate

Students can see their pictures in seconds

Personal Having your students’ pictures in

their own lessons and projects is instant motivation

Easy to learn Point and click Can do a lot with simple, automatic

features - then move on when ready

Familiar Most students are already familiar

with regular/instant cameras - easy transition

Professional It’s easy to get high quality,

professional-looking results from your digital camera

Forgiving Picture didn’t come out the way

you’d hoped? Shoot it again, on the spot No wasted film - encourages

experimentation

Cost Effective No film, no developing Rechargeable batteries Archive electronically, print only

the special ones
