Video Cameras in the Classroom

I think the idea of using video cameras in the classroom has a lot of potential. When students are given a camera, they have the opportunity to go out and explore the world. They can choose what to document by deciding what is important. The hands-on-experience is a totally different way of learning that most students don't get the opportunity to experience. I think that when students have the opportunity to do something themselves, they learn more from it.
