Highly visual
Increasing Student Performance Through Technology IntegrationCurrent resources available:
- desktops/laptops- scanners- overhead projectors- iRespond (student response system)
Document cameras can be used with our existing tools
Tried and TrueTwo well-established projects (Washington state) use document cameras in their professional development curricula
- one is for K-12 teachersSustainable Classroom ProjectEducational Service District 112
- the other targets high school math teachersNO LIMIT!Math Integration Specialists Educational Service District 123
Aligned with District’s Technology Plan
Technology serves as a tool to engage students in quality learning experiences requiring higher-order thinking skills to solve authentic problems.
Students will use next generation technology tools to access, analyze and apply increasingly complex information to draw conclusions and make informed decisions.
Students and teachers will use technology to extend learning beyond the classroom and the school day.
Students will use technology to connect and collaborate with classmates, educators, and experts around the world.
CCSD Vision for Technology Use Statements
Supports Research-based Strategies
Document cameras can support all of Marzano’s 9
1. Identifying similarities and differences 2. Summarizing and note taking 3. Reinforcing effort and providing recognition 4. Incorporating homework and practice 5. Using nonlinguistic representations 6. Involving students in cooperative learning 7. Setting objectives and providing feedback 8. Generating and testing hypotheses 9. Using questions, cues, and advance organizers
Document Camera features• magnification and projection of images and 3D
objects
• real-time image capturing
• recording capabilities
• microscope accessory
BenefitsCost-effective
drastically reduces copying expenses
Easy-to-useminimal training requiredroom does not need to be darkened for it to workno prep work required
Engagingdifferentiation
Effective reduces lost instructional time during transitions
General Uses
Activators/summarizers
Record lectures with audio & video and post to blog
Demonstrations/modeling/annotation
Displaying exemplary student work
Provide immediate feedback
Acts as a scanner, preserving work
Students as teachers (presentations)
Can be used for video-conferencing/virtual collaboration/multimedia projects/webpages/podcasts
Equipment & softwareMany companies produce document camerasAverMedia ProTech LumensEpson Adesso Samsung
My recommendation is the ELMO TT-12fifth generation model recording capabilities (audio & visual)microscope attachment anti-theft bracketbase light box for backlighting transparent objectspadded carrying case
Available training & support…
On-site or on-line training is included with purchase
Online support documents, ordering of parts, and download of service/repair instruction document
Live support over the phone, as well as email contact options
Appropriate for all age levels and content areas
Here are just a few ideas for classroom uses….
Specific ApplicationsENGLISH
Daily Oral Language (DOL)
Modeling - writing- editing- revising
Annotation
Specific ApplicationsMATH
Displaying manipulatives
Modeling - calculator use- graphing - problem-solving
Specific ApplicationsSCIENCE
Microscope feature- lab experiments- dissections
Modeling problems - chemistry/physics
Specific ApplicationsSOCIAL STUDIES
Maps
Artifacts
Timelines
Art
Possible limitations
may not be compatible with our iRespond Teacher Pads (must contact company regarding the specs)
must be connected to a computer (which is connected to the projector)
Cost
Doc Cams with features we discussed range from $700-$1100 each
Far more cost-effective than 1:1 replacement of our current outdated IWBs (around $4000 each)
Potential funding sources?
McEachern Endowment Fund
Title II monies (as outlined in the CCSD Tech Plan)
Write our own grant
Equitable accessLet’s get Doc Cams for everyone
or if that won’t work…
survey departments to determine interest level/needs
*based on achievement gaps identified on recent standardized testing data, Math will be given priority
ImplementationMeeting of Media & Technology Committee to develop plan
Technology Specialist does a walk-through (preliminary discussions about room configurations)
Funding Secured
Order placed
Delivery
Teacher training in Media Center (technical use)*Note: most of our teachers have already been trained on and are already using Marzano’s 9 Instructional strategies in their classrooms
