Mobile devices today include a camera that offers the functions of both still photos and video recording. These functions were once seen as expensive and difficult to involve in learning. Now, learners have access to take photos, video recordings, and edit and publish all within one device. When camera technology is used in the classroom, it can promote valuable learning outcomes and higher-order thinking and develop traditional and new literacy skills (Henderson et al. 2010; Schuck and Kearney 2006).
Mobile devices and laptops have become popular tools to harness technology in education.
