Advantages:
- You and your student most likely already have them in your moblie phones
- Speed of getting images
Digital images are instantly available for output to
print or digital video, or save as an image file.
- Uses of the image
Images can be actually inserted into numerous computer
applications like printable documents or presentations
- Ease of duplication
Just copy a computer file or print as often as you like
- Cost savings -- no film/no developing (film developing... what's that? - in olden days we used to have to develop the film through chemical processes just to see the pictures we had taken)
The images are stored in computer memory or other digital
storage. Pictures can be printed directly from a computer to
a printer.
- Control over images & quality --
software
Software allows images to be changed, cropped,
compressed, etc.
Disadvantages

Few smart phone digital cameras produce slide quality
photographs, but most do produce good resolution and are getting better all the time
- You do your own processing work
You can’t just drop it off and pick it up an hour
later.
