Introduction
As a technology specialist, you feel strongly about
the potential for technology to make a real difference in
the lives of our students. Because you can't personally
spread the latest information and research to every
teacher, administrator, and parent, you've recently begun
to publish a district wide educational technology
newsletter. You have a first draft ready, but something
is missing. A few articles could really get the points
across with the right illustrative pictures. Why not pack
a digital camera this week and see what kinds of
educational moments you can capture? The digital camera
has the power to give you instant photos ready for
publishing! While digital cameras share similar features,
allowing you to produce identical images, each one goes
about it in a slightly different way. The one thing they
have in common is a button to take the picture, after
that they may use different methods to set the resolution
of the image, to preview, save, and delete images, and to
download the image to the computer. As a result, when
using a digital camera the best resource is the
accompanying manual.
