Today, I was in a workshop for use of the document camera. This was a great workshop. The presenters were very knowledgeable of the subject matter. We had the opportunity to work hands on with the camera and software. The other teachers in the class with me added very important pieces of information from their points of view. It is nice to hear about how other subject matters see using this technology. I learned that the document camera is a visualizer that is able to show processes and objects.
My only question is how can I use this technology within the concept of physical education. I can see modeling the camera for student as a easy thing to do. Since, the camera can project images. Modeling it can be fun and creative.
The cool thing I saw today was being able to move the camera up and down, instead of it being stuck in one immovable position.
I have no apprehensions about using the technology. I can see that the only limitation will be my creativity.
This should be fun.
