Document cameras are a contemporary version of the old-fashioned overhead projector. Use a document camera when you need to project a printed document, object or digital file onto a wall or projection screen. You can also capture images, annotations and lectures (AV) to your computer using a document camera with a USB cable.
The Document Camera can be used with existing transparencies. If glare occurs angle the device slightly (put a book under the bed) or adjust the overhead lighting.
Be conscious of the background colour of projected files and contrast digital ink colours so annotations are visible to learners—high contrast colours work best.
Capture classroom created materials or 3D-projected objects for the whole class to see with the document camera and display them on an interactive whiteboard. This encourages discussion and provides immediate feedback to students.
