Document camera

Examples of Educational Hardware

Elena Halley
A document camera is a very useful piece of educational hardware in a math classroom. As a
person of short stature writing out problems on the board can be a challenge. Spacing is important, and
when writing vertically its hard to keep everything in a line. The document not only allows you to write
horizontally and project onto the board, but also allows you to record and send videos when using the
newer models. Outside of math, this sort of tool could be used to show how to annotate a text, or in an
art classroom to demonstrate drawing techniques. Newer models plug into a usb port and can be used
in conjunction with a projector and computer.
