Thanks Wade, that's a great example, as opposed to just having Jeopardy type quizzes with multiple choice answers.<br />

I should have said -- <i><b>in general</b></i> - document cameras and clickers support teaching, not student experiential learning.

i only represent the non-profit division of Torcomp Studica, Inc - our parent company. so i actually have no affiliation with the sales aspect of the business, but Torcomp Studica, Inc is among the top five educational software resellers in North America, so maybe you'll be able to find something that interests you (and your students!).... then your students can use the software to create brilliant works of art and enter them in our Studica Skills competitions. :D that's MY job - to get people involved in the competitions.<br />

I'd vote for spending the money on things that give more students the ability to create more, and more varied things - cameras for them, microphones, voice recorders, stuff like that. Even though you may think you have "enough" (as if that ever happens) - many students will not compete for resources. This is especially true of girls.<br />
<br />
Although cool - document cameras and clickers support teaching, not student experiential learning.

There is a model put out by AverVision for around $350 that allows you to capture images as well as video in either the doc camera itself or in your computer.

You don't sound like a broken record at all Wade. I have a set of the Senteo Interactive Response System and love it. I think anyone who has used them will agree they are engaging tools. One thing that is tough with the clickers when they have to be shared with a large group is getting the student data base built up by individual teachers. Do you have any suggestions on how we could use a set school wide?

I've used them when I led a workshop in Seattle. They are very handy. They work like a DV camera, but with a display feature rather than a record feature. Imagine setting up a DV camera on a tripod and connecting it to one of our projectors. You then aim it down at a piece of student work and it displays it on the large screen for all to see.

Imagine setting up a DV camera on a tripod and connecting it to one of our projectors. You then aim it down at a piece of student work and it displays it on the large screen for all to see. This is essentially how these work, but with far less effort. It is ten times better than an overhead and I was hooked after using it for one session. Then the cost factor hit me. But now...

Hi Mike,<br />
If you have projectors, I'd buy document cameras. They're relatively inexpensive ($350) and they really expand your teaching. Teachers who use them ditch their overhead projectors and find they can engage so many more students in lots of different ways with a doc camera.<br />
I might also invest in iPod shuffles to help students with fluency practice, pre and post reading/teaching previews and reviews.
