I used the document camera for several lesson in my classroom.
We recently used to observe our mealworms life cycle. This gave the students a closer look at the changes of the mealworm.
Standard 3.0 – Technology for Learning and Collaboration: Use a variety of technologies for learning and collaboration
1. Use and understand how technology enhances learning a) Use technology tools, including software and hardware, from a range of teacher-selected options to learn new content or reinforce skills b) Describe ways selected technology tools are being used to support learning c) Reflect and discuss, as part of a larger group, on the appropriateness of the selected technology for the given task *
The document camera is a wonderful way to incorporate technology into a daily lesson plan. It allows the students to follow along with the lesson as it shows on the ELMO.
I find the document camera helps keep the students on task and focused.
