The University of Central Missouri Foundation funded an opportunity grant for an investigation in methods of wireless camera tethering for teaching photography students. Tethering is a technique to connect a camera to a computer or tablet to display the image so the results can be quickly and clearly seen on a larger screen than the smaller typical display on the back of DSLR cameras. Although digital cameras have a small display on the back, it’s difficult for one person to see much on the small screen--imagine a class of thirty students taking turns to see that small image. The exploration looked at two ways of using wireless camera tethering to teach beginning students in the Professional Photography Program at the University of Central Missouri. The first was a portable system that transfers the captured image to a tablet screen for location photography. This method is demonstrated in this video and illustrates the augmentation level of the SAMR model for the integration of educational technology. The use of the wireless tether offers functional improvement as a substitution for the small screen on the back of a DSLR or for the Polaroid films previously used in teaching location photography. The second method looked at the use of a live-view monitor that showed the camera image view as well as the camera controls projected large-screen in the classroom. The second method is at the redefinition level of the SAMR model and provides for the creation of new, previously inconceivable learning experiences. This investigation is ongoing and will be the subject of another video. Wireless tethering has been recently introduced as a way to remove the constraint formerly imposed by a connecting cable. A Nikon D7100 camera and WU-1a WiFi adapter were used to transfer the captured images to a tablet screen for location photography demonstrations. Tethering connects the camera to a device to project an interactive real-time visualization of photography’s technical concepts of focal length, aperture, ISO, focus, depth-of-field, shutter speed, color balance, and lighting. The interaction of the controls for these factors is often baffling for beginning photographers. Live-view tethering instantly presents complex interactions in a form that is complete and easier to learn.
