15. Document Camera Basics
Brainstorm of Lesson Ideas Using Your Docucam:
- Color lesson - mixing playdough to mix colors - do this under the docucam
- Paper folding under the docucam
- Freeze frame - Students do the work while the frame is frozen, then unfreeze and the answer is there for them to check their work
- Teach shapes using the annotations tool
- Dice activity - roll the dice under the docucam so the kids can see the roll
- Use the annotations to put answers to problems so that then you don't have to recopy your worksheet or master copy
- Use with your interactive white board
- Record experiments so that if it goes really well one class but fails in another, you've got the good results to show your other classes
- Record lessons for absent students to post on a website or wiki or blog or YouTube
- Use the docucam to take still photos of paper to make a digital copy of that paper (ie. student art work) to use in podcasting, slideshows, etc.
- Stop-motion animation projects - the docucam is nice and steady
- Record children for resource referral documentation
- Time-lapse photography to record things like butterflies hatching or spiders spinning a web
- Money (or any object) can be seen by every student large and clear during lessons
