This would be a great exercise to integrate into the classroom! There are so many things you can do with it! This would work in all grades, even in college courses. It's a fun way to get kids involved with the activity and get them thinking. At the same time, it also allows them to learn more about digital cameras and the uploading, editing, and presenting process!
