Using camera phones for education

Many students around the world have more computer power in their pockets than exists in the classroom. School's fret because camera phones can be used to invade privacy but they can also be use for a wide array of educational purposes such as:
  • Photos of work
  • Photos and video of excursions
  • Produce vod casts.
  • Photograph down a microscope
  • Tape audio of a class to listen to later.
  • Tape audio to make a podcase.... and the list goes on.

Once media is collected it can be mixed and presented as a video... here is an example of a video I made from an excursion to the Melbourne Aquarium. Every kid should be able to do this at school!
