With a document camera, I can give my students a close-up view of the visual models I use as I teach. Math tools, picture books, interactive writing, art projects, science specimens and social studies artifacts -- all can be brought into focus for every student in the room with a document camera. The camera is compatible with the multimedia projector I already have, and the images will be projected on a big screen. This camera will help me to bring exciting visual learning to my enthusiastic, inquisitive class of 5th graders. Visual learning is engaging for all students. Without the camera, my use of visuals is limited. I can pass things around, or show in small groups, but in a big class that takes a long time and can break the rhythm of the lesson. A document camera will transform my teaching and my students' learning. All students can see what is going on at the same time, and see it clearly! I can show each step as I write a story or solve a math problem. Or show a bar graph of different properties of an insect, or a country! Interactive lessons will be possible all day, every day, inspiring my students to extend their thinking. I am excited to begin teaching in this new way with a document camera. Thanks you very much for your help!
