REFLECTION

The use of webcam or flip cameras can be fun and interesting to students, they allow student to use computers as video phones or video conference stations, web chats and .simply sending pictures. I am especially excited about this technology because it can be used with students with hearing impairments or deafness. They can use sign language and communicate with someone in another city.

I also have a granddaughter that lives in another city and her parents send me pictures on a regular bases using the flip phone and web cam.

Students can use this technology in a Science class and go on a nature hunt taking pictures of outside nature spots
