Document+Camera

.

An ELMO Document Camera is basically a mounted camera attached to a digital projector that allows you to project documents and other objects onto the board for your class to see. I believe using the ELMO in my classroom daily will help me take my teaching to a whole new level and make learning an enjoyable experience for all my students.

 * ** Description: **
 * The following PowerPoint Presentation will demonstrate how I use my document camera in a lesson on how to use a protractor. The document camera is the center of this lesson as I display my protractor to my students. By modeling the way a protractor is used with the document camera, students can see very easily how they can use a protractor to read and draw angles. There is also a chance in the lesson for students to come up and demonstrate how they used a protractor to solve a problem. This allows the students to see different ways to use the tool as well as talk about how the demonstrating student is using a protractor either successfully or unsuccessfully.**


 * ** Reflection: **
 * I have really enjoyed using my ELMO for a variety of lessons and activities. In this particular lesson I always had a hard time showing the students the scale along the edge of the protractor and showing them how to determine the size of an angle depending which way that angle opened. ELMO has made this extremely easy and the students enjoyed coming up to the and model to their classmates their skill. ** ||
