Doc+Cameras

=ActiView Document Camera= Document cameras allow you to demonstrate objects to an entire class. They are useful in math, art, tech ed, cooking and many other classes. Holding the object or paper under the document camera head allows the camera to transmit the image to the screen that is attached to a projector for better classroom viewing. ActiView is a Visual Presenter. By enabling printed materials and 3D objects to be viewed and shared, opportunities for collaboration and engagement are increased in the classroom. Facilitating the sharing of information and work, students can be supported either by the teacher or each other promoting peer to peer learning.
