An Elmo document camera will allow me to engage all 22 students in various ways of learning.
1. Develop writing skills by teaching students how to properly form letters by projecting the letter images on a white board via the ELMO. Students can then write over the projected letters until they are confident in forming them.
2. Read together. Sharing a book with the whole class, even if I only have one copy. Use the camera to practice reading aloud, focus on individual words and phrases or study images and illustrations together. This also eliminates the need for copying multiple copies of one story or sheet.
3. Demonstrate new techniques. Students do not need to crowd around a desk or table in order for me to show them how to mold clay, measure liquid, or dissect plant parts. The ELMO will project my every step clearly and everyone can see. This use is great for most science and math lessons.
4. Give student feedback. Project good examples of classwork and homework to students using the ELMO and demonstrate why this piece scored highly. Alternatively, display a sample and allow the class to peer edit the document.
5. Show and Tell.
6. Magnifying sand particles, leaves, or insects.
7. Displaying maps, charts, graphs, images from textbooks.
