The Elmo Interactive Document Camera will completely change the way I teach my students. My little ones need a lot of modeling, for some of them this is their first experience in a formal academic setting, they need to follow along what I'm doing all the time. At the present time when I need to model for them I can only use the whiteboard with magnets and markers and they try to follow along. The reality is that this is too small to see for many of my students and they cannot follow along properly. I have seen classes that utilize document cameras and this captures the students attention very well and they can follow along with the teacher without facing any challenges.
