Working with an ICT population can be very challenging as a teacher. There are so many different types of learners at so many different reading and writing levels that designing effective lessons and activities can be difficult. However, one thing that I have always noticed across the board with these students is the importance of modeling and providing examples. The more I can "show" my students, the easier it is for them to understand standards and expectations. When students get to share their own work with the class, it's so much more authentic and effective than sharing my work with them. This is why a document camera is such an integral part of my classroom. While conducting writing workshops, I like to take student work and SHOW my students how to revise and edit effectively. With a document camera they can see exactly what corrections need to be made as we are making them together. When reading from a novel, I like to be able to SHOW my students how to effectively annotate a text. With a document camera they can see the note taking that is happening with the novel as it happens. These are things that are very difficult to do without the use of a document camera. A document camera would provide my students with the opportunity to see HOW to revise and edit, or annotate in real time as I am walking them through the process. This would, in turn, give them a better understanding of how to do these things on their own.
