The use of a document camera will allow students to explain their mathematical thinking as well as follow alongside with me. Having students come to the board solves the communication problem, but it can be very time consuming and unwieldy to have several students in each class come to the board. A document camera allows students to be a part of interactive learning experience and quickly and easily display their work directly to their peers. A document camera also promotes classroom discussions and questions that will allow us to overcome misconceptions and clarify students' understandings. It also allows me as a teacher to take pictures of exemplars to share with other classes.This would be a great advantage in the classroom that will allow students to express and explain their thinking. My students are active learners who would benefit from discussing their learning as whole group.
