My Students

Turning your back to the class as you write on the board has never been a great way to capture and maintain student attention. A document camera not only allows you to face students, it allows you to see students' faces glow with amazement as they interact with new technology.

My students are an enthusiastic group of first graders that thrive on seeing, touching, transforming, and exploring.

They love to learn and this technology will enable them to experience information in ways they have never seen before. They have varied learning styles that a document camera will help to address and allow all types of learners to participate.

My Project

A document camera will help student learning leap off the page and into first grade minds. Students will see science experiments up close, even in the furthest corners of the room. Math connections to real life will be more easily made as objects and manipulatives move into 3D. Real coins can be counted and rulers read by all. Place value and pattern blocks become clear up close. A document camera will not only assist with critical STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Math) learning, but across all subjects. Art can be examined microscopically and demonstrated in detail. Reading will be improved as any book becomes a "Big Book" and key points on a page can be highlighted with instant ease. A document camera also has the ability to capture and save images and video. Student performances of Readers' Theater, such as the scripts also requested, can be saved and reviewed for reflection and portfolios. Student learning will be improved as student attention is increased in all areas.

Having a document camera in class will enrich students' experiences across the subjects and open up new opportunities for technology use in, and out of, the classroom.

Readers' Theater scripts will take on a new dimension as they are viewed and reviewed through the document camera's footage. These are tools that will help these students, and those for years to come, to travel across the curriculum.
