The majority of cell phones seems to come with cameras these days. It is possible to take decent photos with these, which could be uploaded (or first emailed to the teacher's email address, and then uploaded). Another advantage is that cell phones are light and easy for a teacher to tote around, and if it's the teacher's phone, that teacher probably already knows how to use the camera function. Finally, many schools have a year book club or elective, and invariably the club has access to at least one digital camera. Ask a student in the club to shoot your class for DonorsChoose! Problem solved, and you will be giving the student a fun real world experience. Many teachers carry cell phones, so they can make personal calls during their breaks and lunches.
