I truly believe that a document camera will have a special place in our classroom. One crucial improvement I expect to see is my students' engagement level. We would be able to annotate texts and reading passages together and students could follow along as we work through their exercises together. I love the collaborative aspect a document camera brings to a class, not to mention it would be saving trees by eliminating the need to make copies for every activity! This active learning approach can help to cement strategies and skills for long-term retention. Writing examples, student's work, and photographs could be more easily displayed and therefore more accessible to all students. Math is a difficult subject alone, so with the help of a visual aid and group discussion, it would be beneficial to all students. With a document camera, we would have the ability to display their workbooks and discuss problems together to strengthen understanding. Something I struggle with currently is spending valuable lesson time re-writing examples, questions, or solutions on the whiteboard. With the use of a document camera, students can physically bring up their ideas, solutions, and discussions to be displayed to the whole group, which will consequently save time, giving us more opportunities to discuss the material together.
