Hi,

This is interesting but this has some drawbacks:
- no all children have a camera,
- plugging the camera and grabbing the picture maybe overly complex
  for children.

For these reasons, even if technically it would be fun to do and it
maybe relevant on an educational stand point, I am afraid it would be a
lot of effort to develop and maintain for a too small number of users.

Bruno.
