Abstract

Digital cameras have many advantages over film cameras for math and science education, and add a multimedia dimension to learning. Today's digital cameras offer a variety of features, and are as easy to use as film cameras without the expense of film processing. Digital images are available more rapidly than film images, allow unlimited low-cost duplication, and can be controlled and manipulated easily. Using a digital camera, students make personal meaning of documents, presentations, and electronic communications such as email and web pages. Math and science teaching and assessment are enhanced through electronic field trips, demonstrations and portfolios. Digital cameras enable students to visualize the mathematical and natural worlds in unique ways. Many cameras have panorama and limited audio/video capabilities. Most offer live or recorded video output, and can be used with special lenses, including microscopes and telescopes.
