Digital+Camera

**Digital Camera** 1. I learned that megapixles do not make a better picture. Megapixles deal with quantity not quality. Optical zoom is when the lens physical moves closer. For most people they prefer to turn off the digital zoom. A camera that uses a SD memory card is a better choice in that it is cheaper and is more versatile as well. 2. The perfect camera for me and my classroom would be a Canon-Powershot A2200 14.1 Megapixal digital camera. I like it because it is only $104. It has face detection and image stabilization, which is good for little beginners. It has a LCD screen allowing you to look at the screen when taking pictures and it also has video mode.

3. Students are using digital cameras in companionship with their learning as a learning accompaniment. It helps to reinforce the material learned. They are taking pictures of plants and animals, numbers, and objects. etc. and then making books to show what they have learned. ** 10 Ideas for Digital Camera use in my curriculum ** media type="youtube" key="a4jxj1abL8Q" height="283" width="560"media type="custom" key="10917436" width="180" height="180"
