This blog entry is about a tool in Dr. Wang's PPT about previous T3PP results. Specifically, Document cameras in the hardware list. Document cameras captures the real time image to display an object for a large audience. These are useful for teachers so they can give examples of their assignments to the whole class instead of doing this individually to each child. This is a really great tool for the classroom. There are three different types of document cameras.
Small light weight document cameras are transportable from classroom to classroom. This is one of the most common types of document cameras. This camera would be best for those who are on the go and need to bring a document camera with them for work.
The final type of document camera is less common, it is a ceiling document camera. This is used to display large objects onto the board. They work the same way as the other two document cameras, it is just going to give the presenter more play with the size of object they want to display.
All of these will have a little bit of a learning curve while trying to get used to how they work. They are fairly simple to use just awkward at first. Document cameras are very user friendly and straight forward.
Document cameras are very useful for teacher to show the whole class how to do the assignment, as well as showing them all an object at one time. These can be used for all sorts of content and activities to show the entire class something. Document cameras fit into the fourth event in the seven-event framework. The fourth event is presenting the content. Document cameras will help make it easier on the teacher to show it to the entire class and not a few at a time.
This is a simple video to help get started with a large model document camera. It is very useful to help get used to the program of the document camera.
