Document CamerasElmos The pros and the cons
Cost to You • Document cameras come in a wide variety of styles. The priceing goes up depending on the zoom availabilities and overall qualities of the camera • You can usually get a better deal if you purchase in high quantities and combine them with projectors
Elmos • Here is one of the modest end styles. This is a TT-12/XK2200 camera that comes with a projector priced at $1,110.00 as a group.
Elmos • This is a high end model. It costs $650.00 for the camera alone. It is a Samsung SDP-860
Elmos • This is a url that leads to a great site for viewing document cameras and their abilitied and prices. • http://www.protechprojection.com/elmo
Classroom uses • Project things simultaneously, for example if students are bringing in leaves for a class leaf collection you can place a leaf on the viewing area and use the enlarger to show even the intricacy of the veins within the leaf as well as the leafs colors. • Pages from picture books • Photographs • Magazines • Something like an alpha smart to teach students how to use all of the features • Enlarge type for vision impaired students • Anything you would have used an overhead projector for exemplified
Downside • Document cameras are rather exspensive because you also have to purchas the projectors.
More Positives • Connect directly to your computer • Because you can connect to your computer you can do a lesson using the internet and they can all participate • Students can operate it and show their work they have done. This could be anything from a written journal to a colorful picture they created. • Place the students text books directly under the elmo for choral reading
