The Elmo Document Camera was utilized in different ways. First it was used during small group instruction. In the lesson presented, students had the opportunity to display and explain solutions to mathematical problems that were solved independently. The equipment was also used during presentations to parents, staff and students. I have been using video visualizers for the past six years. However, the document camera is an exciting new piece of technology. First, the equipment is not bulky like its predecessors. Next, the camera function that allows you to take pictures of the displayed documents and/or students and be saved to the computer is a “really cool” feature. Finally, all of the devices (LCD, computer and video) can be connected to the equipment. Students also enjoyed how easy it was to manipulate the zoom in and out functions.
