Camera Apps For Your iPad Classroom

I love cameras in my classroom. We use our cameras for recording the process of making an artwork, we use them to record evidence of our learning, we often photograph our whiteboard after a brainstorming session or sometimes just to create a photograph to accompany a blog about something that happened in class.

My favourite idea is a series of self portraits. Use your iPads for the students to shot self portraits that can then be the basis for a whole unit of work on Self Portraits or just as a starting point for an interesting insight in how your students see themselves.
