2. Slide 1 Welcome to SimELMO; Newspaper (Print Front and Back) Edition! In this simulation you will learn to display newsprint pages that have text on both sides of the page via the document camera. To begin turn the projector on via the control console at the lower right. Steve Bonham Center for Excellence in Teaching Georgia Southern University 2005

3. Slide 2 Now select the source to send to the projector; click the “Doc Cam” button on the console.

4. Slide 3 Flip the document camera’s power switch to on.

5. Slide 4 Press the lamp button to turn the upper lamps on. Note that the main output light is now lit.

6. Slide 5 Click the newspaper above to place this news page on the bed of the Elmo. See if another video device is connected by clicking RGB1 or RGB2. Newspapers can be a challenge. Because they have print on both sides of the page a problem known as “showthru” can make text difficult to read.

7. Slide 6 Text on the opposite side is showing through the image. Insert Backing Sheet?

8. Slide 7 Nice, but you might want to widen out a bit. A “backing sheet” is nothing more than a thick dark sheet of paper that minimizes “showthru.”

9. Slide 8 Text on the opposite side is showing through the image. Insert Backing Sheet?

10. Slide 9 Text on the opposite side is showing through the image. Turning the base lamp on makes showthru even worse.

11. Slide 10 Turning off the lamps reduces showthru but darkens the image.

12. Slide 11 Nice. Text is legible here, but you might want to widen out a bit. A “backing sheet” is nothing more than a thick dark sheet of paper that minimizes “showthru.”

13. Slide 12 Text and images on the opposite side are showing through the page. Insert Backing Sheet?

14. Slide 13 Turning the base lamp on makes showthru even worse.

15. Slide 14 Turning off the lamps reduces showthru but darkens the image.

16. Slide 15 That may be too wide. Now the text is hard to read. A “backing sheet” is nothing more than a thick dark sheet of paper that minimizes “showthru.”

17. Slide 16 Text and images on the opposite side are showing through the page. Insert Backing Sheet?

18. Slide 17 Turning the base lamp on makes showthru even worse.

19. Slide 18 Turning off the lamps reduces showthru but darkens the image.

20. Slide 19 That IS too wide. Now the text is really not readable. Good shot of Dr. DeVries though. A “backing sheet” is nothing more than a thick dark sheet of paper that minimizes “showthru.”

21. Slide 20 Text and images on the opposite side are showing through the page. Insert Backing Sheet?

22. Slide 21 Turning the base lamp on makes showthru even worse.

23. Slide 22 Turning off the lamps reduces showthru but darkens the image.

24. Slide 23 Sorry. You’re not allowed to make that selection on the control console in this simulation.

25. Slide 24 NO INPUT DETECTED Nope. Nothing on RGB1. Try RGB2 or Main Output.

26. Slide 25 NO INPUT DETECTED Nope. Nothing on RGB2. Try RGB1 or Main Output.
