The 3rd Dimension Camera
The most exciting aspect of using document cameras in the classroom is the extra dimension that it brings to your presentation. In addition to showing notes and written materials to your classroom with your document camera, you can display three-dimensional objects as well.
It is a great tool for science classes; students can see the teacher dissecting a frog. Math students can see the complicated world of pyramids, cone and cylinders. Art classes can see more clearly techniques on molding clay and making perfect brush strokes.
