The days of the overhead projector may be coming to an end as educators begin replacing those messy overhead transparencies with either PowerPoint presentations or the use of something called a document camera/visual presenter.

A document camera, often called an ELMO, is a tool that allows students to have a more dynamic and interactive classroom. Regardless of the subject, a document cameras will help educators make the most out of any lesson or activity by allowing them to present items on the screen for the whole class to see. The document camera also allows the user to present three dimensional objects in a new way, bringing traditional lesson to life.

Some things to remember:

Projectors show a landscape image, so that means if you put a 8.5x11 document under the document camera, you will not see the entire document…unless you zoom all the way out…and then there is a good chance that the text will be too small to read.

When creating documents, try to create them in landscape

Document cameras require a LCD projector in order to show the image.

Both of the document cameras below come with additional screen capture software.
