Below is a picture of a Document Camera
This type of technology has been around for a while and I debated about including it on my blog. I included it because I can not see myself not using one in my future classroom. The district I work at has one of these in every classroom and the teachers use them often. As you can see the day I took this picture the teacher was using hers.
For classroom use the teacher could use a document camera to:
- Project an activity or worksheet on the whiteboard so the entire class can see
- Show pictures from a book
- Show a students work
- Show and tell
- You can zoom in on small objects to see details
- You could put a digital timer under it for time management
- Photos
