Document Cameras for English Learners' Success!

Help me give my students document cameras and projectors. The portable document camera will allow me to showcase student work and project it for the class to see.

My Students

English Language Learners are excited to learn, but sometimes it can be hard for them. Learning a new language can be a challenge but the students in my school are ready! I teach in a public school in central Pennsylvania that has a diverse group of students.

The group of English Learners that I work with speak 12 different languages.

Sally Lopez, another English Language Development teacher at my school, and I teach a group of 60 students from a variety of backgrounds and cultures. These students work together in small groups to build their English skills.

My Project

Students learn in a variety of ways. Visual learners need to see what is expected of them. Using a document camera and a projector will allow these visual learners to see examples or for me to model for the students. In addition, English Learners combine the use of auditory information and visual information to make meaning from words. Visual images help students make connections to what they already know.

It is my hope that I can use the projector and document camera to display student work and their thinking.

Students would be able to see what their peers are working on or demonstrate their own learning. Also, showing their work to their peers allows them to build confidence.

Using the two document cameras and projectors will allow both Sally and I to display information to both of our groups of students.
