AVerMedia Document Camera

From retracing a voyage on a map to viewing squirmy worms, to examining up close on how a light bulb works, or just going over written work your students can have the advantage of a visual learning environment with the AVerMedia Document Camera. From the easy to use software, ink annotations, to the camera's ability to auto focus, once you have used this camera you will be hooked. The students are engaged and motivated, especially when they get to share their work using the document camera. The teacher can demonstrate exactly what they want. Never again do you need to make and use transparencies. Primary grade teachers love them because they can project lessons with manipulatives, so all the students can see the lesson being modeled. Secondary teachers can share math solutions, display text for reading or writing activities, and displaying the steps in a science experiment. Students are excited to share their work, which therefore increases student engagement and makes lessons more lively and exciting. Teachers can easily put a worksheet or paper under the camera and work through a few samples with the students. Then they can see exactly what is expected of them.
