Every teacher on my campus has one in their classroom attached to an LCD projector and laptop. I think that using it through group discussion helps promote critical thinking skills while using Socratic Questioning about whatever item you may be viewing. I know using it to disect a sentence is great for all kids and they see the parts of grammar...especially with colored pens/markers.<br />

Mapping skills, charts and graphs are lacking in many classrooms...they are great for these skills...any graphic organizer to be honest. Allowing students to demonstrate self evaluated writing is great with the elmo and can assist in developing critical thinking skills.<br />

I have had one for a year and have become thoroughly spoiled by it:) As an English Language Instructional Coach, I ordered them for all the teachers I support (those content teachers with ELLs in their classes). At first, they didn't see the need since they had overheads and their LCD projectors for powerpoints. Once I showed them how to use it (and encouraged them to come to my class and see it in action), they quickly changed their minds. I still have 5 boxes of transparencies that I have to…
I have had one for a year and have become thoroughly spoiled by it:) As an English Language Instructional Coach, I ordered them for all the teachers I support (those content teachers with ELLs in their classes). At first, they didn't see the need since they had overheads and their LCD projectors for powerpoints. Once I showed them how to use it (and encouraged them to come to my class and see it in action), they quickly changed their minds. I still have 5 boxes of transparencies that I have to find something to do with or someone to give them to.<br />
<br />
My favorite activity is shooting activities to the dry erase board for students to work with. I also have them volunteer to share their work with the entire class for editing, sharing exemplary work, reading something they found interesting (short paragraphs), etc. The science teachers I work with were hooked almost immediately! They hook up their microscopes to it so the entire class can see what is on the slide. The English teachers have used them to highlight key passages of novels to fully engage the entire class in analyzing it.<br />
<br />
The limits are those of your imagination. I regularly ask teachers how they are using theirs so that I can see if their approaches would work with my students.<br />

Here is a list of ideas from Lumens. Enjoy!<br />

I've been looking for an affordable way to have a document camera for my 4th graders. How is the zoom and focus on the Hue? Do you find yourself having to re-focus frequently? Is there a way to zoom, like a zoom button, or do you have to go in through the computer software to do it?<br />
<br />
Any input you can give would be greatly appreciated! Thanks much!<br />

Hi folks,<br />
<br />
I work for the English pathways provider for the university of technology in Sydney, and our college has just invested in 50 visualizers (doc readers) for the English classrooms here. It's pretty sad, but many of the teachers have expressed dismay at overhead projectors being removed from their classrooms, but part of my job is in reskilling them in the use of newers toys. I'm wondering what kind of feedback you've had from staff, particularly in a widespread integration of document…

We just bought all of our teachers a HUE ($20 from K-Mart online). We are a 4-6 grade building and the teachers are using them everyday. We are wanting to get some Elmos but this was a way to get the technology into their hands fast.
