Implications and Teaching Opportunities for Camera Use in Teaching and Learning.

My iPhone could be considered my best friend at times, as bad as that may be. I definitely help make up some of this data and percentages. I got my first phone at 13, and it had a camera. i remember it being such a big deal because camera phones were brand new. This was 8 years ago though, so now things are different.
Almost every phone has a camera now and there are many ways to upload or send pictures or videos directly from it. This can definitely be used in classrooms now. Students can video things from their phones and upload them directly to youtube, blogger, etc. Same goes for pictures. This generation uses their phones for various social media posts generally consisting of videos or pictures and a caption or description. That is one less things teachers have to teach about technology in the classes, because most already know.
Some activities that can use smart phones for learning puporses include:
Taking pictures/videos to upload and talk about on blogger.
ChaCha allows students to ask a question using their messaging and the answer is sent back as a response.
For physical education students could use their apps to track calorie intake/loss and download other apps for more specific goals.
Scanning QR codes for audio, and videos.
