camera base.
Camera Buttons“PC” button: press this to toggle to project the computer on the screen.
“Camera” button: press this to toggle to project the document camera on the screen.
“Zoom in/Zoom Out”: use these buttons to zoom in or out while using the camera. This is better to use than bending the neck of the camera down low to an object you’d like to show.
“Freeze”: freezes the image you are projecting. To turn off this feature, press “freeze” again.
“Cap/Del”: stands for “capture/delete”. Press this button while you are projecting the camera to take a picture of the image. To delete a picture you took, play the picture again and press the “Cap/del” button. On the message that says “Delete? Yes/No”, use the arrow to move to the word “delete” and click the right arrow to confirm the delete.
“Playback”: Press this button to playback the pictures you took using the “Cap/del” button. Use the arrows on the camera to go back and forth between the pictures.
Document Camera - Freeze• While reading a book, use the “Freeze” function to
project the illustration, but have freedom to move around the room while reading the text
• Use overhead transparencies to “write on” the book• Freeze to show each step in a math problem• Freeze and draw on worksheets—great for guided
instruction• Project textbooks, maps, magazines, newspaper
articles that enhance curricular areas without spending money on copies or huge Big Books
• Freeze an image to encourage think time
Document Camera – Zoom in• Show 3-D objects, artifacts and manipulatives
in full color under document camera. “Zoom in” to see detail.
• Enlarge text for students with vision impairments
• Zoom in to parts of a thermometer or ruler to show smallest measurements
Document Camera - Negative• Capture live organisms like daphnia
and use the “Freeze” and “Negative” functions to examine their exoskeletons more closely
Document Camera Ideas
• Show and Tell• Reading to Perform a Task• Demonstrations• Bring completed math problems up to
show how they solved it differently• Use highlighters, Wikki Stixs, highlighting
tape and Post-It note arrows to draw attention to important parts and actively involve students
Document Camera Ideas• Display a completed product so students see
an example of what is expected of them• Show student work immediately for discussion
and assess with rubrics (editing and revising)• Demonstrate art techniques (paint, clay,gluing,
cutting, weaving, etc)• Demonstrate handwriting techniques
