Case Study 4 ELMO Document Camera/Visual Presenter



This is a device that allows students to view demonstrations and illustrations from any where in the room.  In this lesson the teacher did a demonstration at the front of the classroom and the students were able to have a better view of the lesson with the use of the camera. It is an effective tool because more students would be involved in the lesson, therefore, the lesson would be more student centered than teacher centered.
Before I viewed the video I thought the camera was only used with books and paper, however, upon viewing the video, I realized the document camera could do much more.   I also realized that it can also be used with a microscope where all the students would be able to view the specimen at the same time.
I would use this tool because it makes the lesson more interactive, which will allow more learning to take place.  I rate this film at 4 out of 5.
