Document Camera

What is a Document Camera? It looks similar to an overhead projector but does so much more. It scans and projects still or moving objects. The objects can be two- or three-dimensional. All students in the class can see what you are showing at the same time, rather than having to pass an object around the room. Students can focus attention on what you are showing as you talk about it.
