In class today we discussed the use of our tablet's camera. I think that there are many possibilities in which the camera, video camera, and web cam can all be used to expand our knowledge of the benefits that the tablets can bring to us.
1. Taking pictures of assignments and notes- This would not only allow us to study our class work straight from the tablet, but also save an electronic copy of our work that could get lost.
2. Recording lessons- Having the capability to keep a digital copy of the daily lesson would be INCREDIBLY helpful! We could study the lesson over and over to completely clarify any missed information. Also the lessons could be easily Emailed to any of our classmates who may have missed a day of school.
3. Year Book- Throughout the school year we could have taken pictures of activities and school events that could later be used in our Year Book.
4. Graphics for written reports and presentations/ student portfolio.
5. Take photos on field trips, to aid in writing about them later.
6. E-mail class updates to parents, with attached photos.
7. Face to Face web cam chat discussions.

GREAT post A! Why dont you ask Schmidty if you can record him? I bet he would let you...for a dollar. :) Seriously, find out your areas of need and go for it. This is the time to experiment if there ever was one.
