Today, our students are looking for ways that classrooms can engage them. There are many ways to do this and not all of them are always evident. Sometimes we forget the little things that can help along the way. Students are made up of visual and auditory learners. The document camera is an easy way to model in the classroom and allow students to see firsthand. There are also ways to allow students to put a paper under the camera and have the computer read it to them. This would drastically help those students in the classroom who need this on a daily basis. The speakers will help my students specifically. For years, my projector sound has had an awful buzzing noise that our tech guys cannot fix. Every time we use the projector sound, it is very evident. In the past, I have used smaller speakers, but this will definitely provide enough sound for the entire classroom WITHOUT the buzzing noise.
