They need to be freely accessible and abundant. Cameras can tell stories, document learning adventures and produce images for inclusion in student projects. Today, still and video cameras are converging with each doing the other quite well and inexpensively.<\/p>\n<p>The following are my current favorite cameras\u00a0 at all price points and for use by kids of all ages.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Killer still camera with HD video<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong><\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B005OGR48Q\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B005OGR48Q&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=resourcesforprog\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/ecx.images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41FaLmvKj9L._AA300_.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"242\" height=\"242\" \/><\/a>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B005OGR48Q\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B005OGR48Q&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=resourcesforprog\" target=\"_blank\">Nikon 1 V1<\/a> is somewhere between a point-and-shoot and DSLR. It is mirrorless, works great in low light, shoots up to 60 frames per second (capture a balloon popping) and records beautiful HD video, with slow-motion available. It&#8217;s a solid camera with really fine compact lenses. The battery life is terrific. The 30-110mm lens isn&#8217;t much bigger than the 10-30mm one and my photos at a Jets game look like I work for Sports Illustrated.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B005OGR48Q\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B005OGR48Q&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=resourcesforprog\" target=\"_blank\">This<\/a> is the camera for the teacher you love most (yourself)<\/p>\n<h3>For Chubby Little Fingers<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B004FLL5AY\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B004FLL5AY&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=resourcesforprog\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" title=\"Kodak Zx5\" src=\"http:\/\/ecx.images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/71Za3Y0X3zL._AA1500_.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a>While supplies last, you can buy a waterproof and rubberized <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B004FLL5AY\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B004FLL5AY&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=resourcesforprog\" target=\"_blank\">Kodak Playsport Zx5 video camera<\/a>. This camera takes a licking and keeps ticking. It shoots stills and HD video. The quality is not as good as the other cameras I recommend, but this camera fits in your pocket, is waterproof and has a battery life capable of recording an hour or so of video for $95! I&#8217;ve bought several of them.<\/p>\n<h3>Jack of All Trades<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B006UMM1UO\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B006UMM1UO&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=resourcesforprog\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/ecx.images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/51esNYVU7yL._AA300_.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>The tiny $!51 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B006UMM1UO\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B006UMM1UO&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=resourcesforprog\" target=\"_blank\">Canon PowerShot ELPH 110 16.1MP Digital Camera with 3-Inch TFT LCD<\/a> takes great photos and records 1080P HD video. Unlike the other cameras, this one has a flash if that&#8217;s something you like. Every classroom should have a few of these babies!<\/p>\n<h3>For the Daredevil<\/h3>\n<p>If you need a classroom <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=R9ZjDLiWunM\" target=\"_blank\">monkeycam<\/a> or to strap a rugged high-definition video camera onto an underwater skateboard, then you need the $250 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B005WY3TMA\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B005WY3TMA&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=resourcesforprog\" target=\"_blank\">GoPro HD\u00a0 Hero2 Edition<\/a>.
