The document camera is something that is necessary for my students distant learning because I will be able show my kindergarten students penmanship techniques, hands on experiences, project based learning activities in the following content areas: reading, writing, science, math, social studies and English as a Second Language. With the document camera I will be able to teach live lessons and record the actual motion of pencil to paper handwriting. Handwriting is a necessary skill that students need to perfect in the early childhood grade levels to be able to carry on the skills to the upper grade levels and further on. Kindergarten students are in the stage of emergent literacy and in this stage of learning they need a lot of visual assistance and plenty of modeling to showcase how to write upper case and lower case letters and how to appropriately write whole numbers to perfect their penmanship.
