This week we were all given new SMART Document cameras that communicate with our SMART Boards. They are similar to the old document cameras or overhead projectors but, far more advanced. We have taken time this week to "play" with them to see what they are capable of. This camera actually is cooked up to the SMART Board and also to your computer. When the SMART Notebook applications are downloaded onto your computer, you will be able to actually capture and save images that are placed either under the camera or on the screen. I have attached the flyer of information regarding what the capabilities are. As a teacher, one of the best features is the ability to capture any document that is placed under the camera. Then, students can use the white board and interact with it by using the pens. Their work can be saved and revisited for later use. I know that this sounds confusing but, once you play around with it, it's easy to catch on.
