Teacher testimonials... • “The greatest advantage of the document camera is the increased participation of students in lessons. Students beg for the opportunity to operate the camera! In my classroom, students run the camera and present materials while I lecture. I prepare lecture notes and graphics and divide them into sections by using line breaks in Word-produced documents” Joe Frisk • “Well, I just love it. It is great to have a document camera all of the time! We use it for everything--projects, going over rubrics, writing, correcting homework, everything!” Kristen, of http://www.ladybugsteacherfiles.com/ • “The Epson DC-10 can display virtually anything that is placed under its lens—handwriting; intricate illustrations of the read-aloud book; sharp, clear color paintings. It can be used to display the page in the textbook, and can demonstrate origami folds or how to multiply fractions.”Rojanne Brown
