It’s time for students to back-to-school at this time of the year. It has been several months since students last sat down in a lecture hall or classroom. Mostly, teachers and students have made Zoom, Skype, Google Meet, Teams as parts of their everyday tools. These tools have been a valuable resource for educators as they allow them to deliver classes safely and remotely. What if you would like to show your teacher something when you both are in distance learning? You could, I suppose, hold the item in front of the camera if you have a steady grip, but it's not practical. So, it is essential to take advantage of digital education tools called document cameras. 

Document cameras are a common term that people first hear about. However, their capabilities and functions are amazing. This device is a smaller version of the old school overhead projector. The document camera, which is more advanced than an overhead projector system and allows remote collaboration via Wi-Fi, is much better.

Document cameras are powerful tools for teaching and learning.  Simply place it on your table and point it down at your documents.  Then, you can start working under it.

I was thrilled when this document camera reached me earlier in the year. I wanted to try their V500W. It was amazing to go from an overhead projector into a document camera to teach in a classroom. This year, I have supported teachers remotely and worked with students remotely. Remote settings required the use of a document camera to highlight or point out specific information during a read-aloud.
