Research: Using Document Cameras in the Classroom • Case Study 1 • Broadneck Elementary School • ‘Benefits of Document Cameras over other Classroom Technologies’ • Real-time displays allows for immediate feedback and instruction • Increased student attention and on-task behavior • Display of work caused students to be more organized and neat • Case Study 2 • Dysart Unified School District • ‘Technology Integration in Canyon Ridge School’ • Daily incorporation of student-centered instruction • Increased student motivation and engagement • Students love to be the ‘teacher’ • Note: Neither case study utilized IPEVO’sZiggi HD. This research is about document cameras in general.

23. Implementation Plan • Identify teachers and support staff that are currently utilizing a document camera (any brand/model) for instructional purposes on a regular basis. • Purchase a minimum of one combination (Ziggi HD & Wireless Station) per school. Select at least one teacher from the compiled list to ‘pilot’ the use of this combination. • The media specialist from each school will oversee the pilot using the Concerns-Based Adoption Model (CBAM). • Order and set up • Orient teachers to IPEVO Support Site • Collect data and annotations regarding use

24. Reflection • While completing this project, I realized it is imperative that technology coaches possess the research, organizational, and presentation skills necessary to recommend the integration of emerging technology after selecting and evaluating it. • This experience strengthened my ability to step back and look at the ‘big picture’. For equity purposes, I wanted to choose technology that could be used in most teaching environments. I also had to consider the district’s existing technological resources that are necessary for this combination to be fully operable. Finally, I had to communicate my research and recommendations in a clear and professional manner. “Follow effective action with quiet reflection. From the quiet reflection will come even more effective action.” – Peter Drucker
