display all below and capture video to a CF card or P.C with the
presentation software. We also have in use the Elmo TT-02s models for
our science departments. These models can be also used to view their
microscope slides. Each model has been in service for about three
years with very little trouble or support needed.

Our Lower School and Science teachers are our main document camera
users.
We've "seeded" some of the Avervision units around and had the same
instantaneous reaction Tammi described. This is rare.
The only complaint I've had about the Avervision is that it's hard to
display a full page of text without moving it around. We're giving a
couple of Elmos a try -- a teacher saw them at a conference and liked
them
a tad better, so we'll see. Same model mentioned. They use them much
as
Tammi described - showing student work, displaying 3D objects,
modeling
calculator use and working with math manipulatives on a large scale,
even
some finger puppet shows. Way fun, lots of room for creativity and
sharing.
Our science teachers have a couple of larger format models - two by
Canon,
one by Lumens - they do video capture to CF cards and are great for
watching chemical reactions unfold.
It can be tricky for teachers to figure out how to place these so it's
easy to use them with laptops and LCD projector systems once they have
their own units. Our buildings are old and most rooms have a unique
floor
plan, but once they figure it out it's off to the races.
