Document Cameras A replacement for the overhead? Or something else entirely?
Why this one? • Samsung SDP-850DX • Camera quality – works in a variety of situations • Build quality – solid and sturdy • Decent balance between portability and durability • Has been used extensively at Lane School for the past two years
Setup Options • Direct connection to display • Document camera and projector only • Fine for basic operations • Document camera as the hub • Can put a laptop in the mix • BUT devices operate independently, can only project and use one at a time
Laptop as the hub Integrates document camera with laptop and adds software capabilities • Software-based remote control (with limits) • Still image and movie captures • Convenient switching between multiple applications (ALT-TAB) VGA USB
Examples of Use • Mead High School • Requires basic skills with video editing applications and audio recording. • May want to look at screen capture software as an alternative (e.g. CamStudio). • Teacher Forum • Teachers love these things! • “101 Ways to Use A Document Camera” • www.lane.k12.or.us/techserv/support
Questions and Playtime • Request it through support@lane • For short-term checkout by ESD staff • Come up and give it a whirl! • Sample exercise: Recreate this setup!
