My classroom is growing! This year's class will be the largest class yet that I will have had the pleasure of working with. Classroom community and shared experiences are a crucial part of the learning process which can become difficult to support and maintain in larger classrooms. The Lumens DC125 Ladybug Lightweight Document Camera will help my growing classroom to collaborate and share their learning in order to build a supportive classroom community of learners. This document camera is lightweight, compact, has great clarity, and is described to be intuitive enough for a child to control. This tool will eliminate the need for students to "pass around and look" or to strain to see what is being exhibited at the front of the room. It can be used in all subjects throughout the day to enrich learning. For example, students can show how they solved a math problem using math manipulatives, something that could only be shared in small groups without a document camera. Students will be able to share their work directly from the original source, whether it be a rough draft for writing or a sketch they created while carrying out a fair test. Any book can now become a "big book" allowing students to highlight specific passages or quotes from a book to share with their peers. Learning can become a shared experience, even in a larger classroom.
