I doubt it - unless the camera was a part of a handheld computer. Stylus: I spend the first few days showing kids how to use Graffiti. After that, we hand out the external keyboards. The key is for kids to spend no more than 10-15 minutes on the keyboards - until they can transfer their text to a computer. Don't get me wrong, I'm not against what you are saying, it's just that these two egs don't stack up in a class based environment with school kids. Re your two examples:
