Using a Document Camera in the Classroom

Document Cameras allow you to display clear, enlarged pictures of almost anything on your interactive whiteboard or computer screen. Anything from an object, like a crystal or flower, to a photo or piece of text, can be instantly displayed so that the whole class get a clear view.
They are particularly useful for sharing childrens' work for discussion during plenary sessions, making peer and self-assessment activities easy to organise.

Document Cameras are now much less expensive than they were and can be a really useful tool. You can also obtain them through the Tesco Computers for Schools voucher scheme.
