Funded Aug 19, 2022The new document camera has allowed me to bring some science demonstrations to life. Students are now able to follow along with their own materials as we work through experiments and hands-on activities together. I like to provide my students with multiple ways of accessing our curriculum and showing visuals is one way that my students learn and follow along best.
In addition, the document camera allows me to model best practices when it comes to organization and order to our science notebooks. Many students are not explicitly taught note taking skills, and our new doc cam lets me take my students step by step as to how to breakdown notes into their own words. I can also show how I process new information.
Lastly, my students have the ability to use the doc cam for their own presentation purposes. I feel that students learn best from each other and this doc cam enables students to be teachers. They can demonstrate ideas and concepts in their own ways that others may find entertaining and useful.
We are so appreciative of the donation that was made. I am just starting to uncover the many ways I can use this technology in my classroom but it has benefited my students already in many ways.”
With gratitude,
