Using the Camera for Learning and Creativity With Children
Photography is easily recognizable as an art form and a creative outlet for many whether professional or amateur. With a digital camera, the ability to allow inexperienced children to begin their experimentation with photography without the cost concern associated with film and developing is an even greater opportunity. Childhood experience with photography can promote creativity and provide a wonderful tool for learning in general.
Certainly, working with a child to understand the operation of a simple digital camera is necessary before beginning but the possibilities to stimulate imagination, story telling, interest in topics such as history, geography, nature, and sciences among others are endless.
The following are just a few examples of some of the activities with a camera that can get children started on a life time of study, a hobby of interest, or simply an enthusiasm to explore and learn.
A Project for Younger Siblings
Many children enjoy creating projects for younger children, perhaps it is the desire in all of us to mentor. Identifying items that have the various letters of the alphabet in them, photographing them, and producing an alphabet book for a younger sibling just beginning to read is an example of such a project.
To further stimulate imagination, the development of a story book is another possibility. As an example, using the family dog, the child photographer could take various pictures of the pet and devise a short story around "The Life and Times of Fido", "Fido's Big Adventure", or whatever title is appropriate.
A Travel Diary
Like adults, children can use a camera to keep their own photo journal of any travels; whether to grandma's house or to the beach a record of memories is certainly a treasure.
To expand on the travel diary concept and broaden the interest in travel and geography, the child might fabricate a cardboard character to travel even further. By giving the cardboard character to friends and relatives who may be traveling, the character can tag along and be photographed in additional locations. Each travel escort should return any pictures taken with a written paragraph about the journey and location. Over time a rather extensive travel diary, far beyond what the child will personally experience, will form.
The Nature Experience
Developing an interest in science and nature is easy when a camera can provide the focus. Rather than collecting live insects, leaves, rocks, or flowers; photographs can do the job while providing a more permanent archive. The camera also allows collecting of items that would otherwise be impossible; animals, sunsets, waterfalls, footprints, or whatever captures the observant eye of a child.
Beyond collection, photography allows the study of some of the processes of nature. One example is to capture the progression of growth of a plant or animal with a camera. Whether planting a seed in a glass bowl and capturing its germination, rooting, sprouting, and growth or simply photographing a new kitten each week, the catalog of development helps to focus attention as well as potentially develop an interest in science.
Biographies, Family Trees, News Stories, and Documentaries
Challenging school age children to develop a family album complete with a short biography of each family member can stimulate creativity and allow an outlet for their sense of humor as well. Using a camera, some children even willingly accept the role as the family recorder of all special events with others making contributions as needed. A sense of responsibility can foster the desire to excel in their photographic efforts!
Another option for school age children which is a great summer project is to develop a monthly newspaper complete with pictures. The creative options are unlimited; from reporting on recent events in the neighborhood, the family vacation, the latest crime by the family dog, or updates on current or upcoming extracurricular activities can be among the articles accompanied by an appropriate photograph.
Stimulating Creative Writing or Story Telling
Stories can be formed by words, pictures, or both. Armed with a simple camera, a child can put together a sequence of pictures to tell a story; can a family member or younger sibling tell the story without the story being told in words? This type of activity is great for children who have an interest in doing projects for younger siblings.
Another activity to stimulate reading comprehension is to provide the child with a short story and ask them to illustrate the story with a few photographs using props.
Certainly, these activities represent only a very small number of the possibilities to use a camera in developing and expanding interests, fostering learning, and providing a sense of achievement for youngsters. With a little imagination, the camera can open up a whole world to the curious mind and eye of a child.

Celestron Ultima Barlow Lens
Celestron Ultima Barlow Lens
Barlow lenses offer an easy, economical way to increase the magnification range of your eyepieces, and Celestron carries an assortment of these highly useful lenses. A Barlow lens doubles the magnifying power of your eyepiece by doubling its effective focal length. For example, an 18mm eyepiece used with a 2x Barlow lens would have the magnifying power of a 9mm eyepiece. It's like having two eyepieces in one!If you're looking for an affordable way to achieve high-power viewing of the moon and planets, double stars and even close-up views of terrestrial subjects, a Barlow lens is the answer.Barlow lenses mount into either your telescope's focuser or visual back.The .96" Economy model is a good choice when you want to expand your power ranges at a very economical price. Celestron's premium quality 1¼" achromatic Barlow lenses (#93507) are compact and lightweight. It is under three inches long, weighing in at 4 ounces.The Ultima Series Barlow (2x - 1¼") is an air-spaced, three element apochromatic design with a 27mm clear aperture. This lens features a very high quality, fully multicoated design. Amazingly compact and lightweight, it's just 5 ounces and 2.75" in length.
Customer Review: celestron ultima 2X barlow
The application for this barlow on my 8i/GPS SCT/XLT was to gain higher magnification options from longer focal length and eye relief eyepieces (ELux and Xcel 25-18-15mm)and stay in modest price ranges for everything. COMMON TESTS with the barlow vs. short focal length eyepieces to 8mm was most favorable: a) using both common and wide angle FOV eyepieces and b)testing with and without eye glasses while c) viewing Polaris double, Jupiter & moons and the Moon. Seeing conditions were poor (Dallas, summer, early evening sky with a lot of Moonlight.) Never the less I am pleased with both the Celestron Ultima 2X barlow and the strategy and therefore I "recommended". Shipping was prompt - much better than prior experiences with amazon.com - improvement so noted.
Customer Review: Inexpensive but great addition for your viewing pleasure
This particular Barlow, along with the Orion Shorty, is highly recommended on several of the astronomy forums on the internet. I got this one instead of the Orion simply because Amazon was offering it at about $52 at the time.
I've found that I enjoy using the Barlow when viewing planets and a few DSO's. It provides an economical way to virtually increase the number of eyepieces in your collection. It does introduce a little light loss with my eyepieces (maybe this is normal with all eyepieces), but it is not troublesome.
I certainly recommend this Barlow for those of you who want to cheaply expand your eyepiece collection.
Virtual Reality Sound Labs Mod Pod Wireless 4 in 1 Power Inverter and FM Transmitter
Virtual Reality Sound Labs Mod Pod Wireless 4 in 1 Power Inverter and FM Transmitter
Slim, lightweight 12V DC power inverter 110V AC power for devices up to 100 wattsUSB port for charging iPod½s, digital cameras, cell phones, etc.FM transmitter with audio input and digital LCD display
Customer Review: not reliable
I bought it and once used during the trip to Grand Canyon.
The power inverter is OK but noise, however the transmitter function is really bad. The signal by the transmitter was so weak, it was only functional when we was Grand Canyon without any interference by public radio. After trip, the transmitter function stoped to working any more.
Customer Review: Loud fan and buzz in FM transmitter
Purchased the item September 7th 2007.
Put it in my 2007 Chevy Silverado for an FM transmitter for my Dell Axim X30.
Had a $15 cheap no-name fm transmitter from CompUSA that worked OK, but fell apart.
First thing I noticed was the loud fan. Sounds like an old noisy CPU fan. Doesn't seem to have any temperature sensing since it fires up right away and stays at full power. Rotated it to redirect the sound, but ended up getting an extension and sticking it in my console. I can still hear it over the HVAC fan and road noise (stereo off).
Next I tried the FM transmitter and found that it was clipping badly. I am running the Replay Gain Handler (No clipping) Plugin for Pocket Player (which fixed my clipping problems in the past) and fiddled with the gain to minimize the clipping. In the end, minimizing the gain and lowering the volume seemed to fix the clipping issue which lead to the next problem.
With or without content being sent the transmitter adds a low hum to the sound. This is not present on standard radio stations and wasn't as loud on my old cheap-o transmitter. Between the low volume/gain on my Axim and keeping the stereo volume low to avoid the hum, it can be frustrating.
Last issue... The USB plug was installed crooked. I had to twist the white wedge to get the plug in. It moved with a snap... so I don't have a lot of confidence in its longevity. It does work though.
Haven't tried the inverter.
Hope this helps other purchasers.
