The students are having a blast using the document camera. They can't believe how real the images are when they wave their hands under the screen. They find it even more fascinating to watch themselves walk by as they enter the class.
As a teacher, I have been using the document camera as a means to become more of a facilitator in the class. My students are using the Elmo to teach lessons. We project to the wall and they either go to the wall or the camera and teach. The Elmo is bringing the lessons to life.
It is even more fascinating to know that eventually my classroom will become paperless (in the near future). This camera has significantly decreased my paper usage. It is extremely helpful to those that are visual learners and tactile learners because they can see themselves recreate problems.
