Marsh Gibbon CE School, UK
Drama and literacy lessons are more interactive with a visualizer
Miss Clare Jefferies recently acquired an
AVerVision 150 for her classroom, as she thought it would be a great visual
aid for displaying documents to her students. However, since she began using the
visualizer
(document camera),
she has found that it can do much more for a classroom than just display documents,
and for this reason it always stays connected to her computer and projector so that
it's available for any need that may arise during a lesson.
"Children can have instant feedback on their work from others and they are
able to share in their successes and praise."
- Miss Claire Jefferies, Teacher, Marsh Gibbon CE School
Uses Miss Jefferies has found for her
visualizer (document
camera) include demonstrations of how to complete class work; children
can easily see the demonstration from their desk, and they can be directed on where
to look. It has proven useful in literacy lessons where children are able to put
drawings in a sequence; Miss Jefferies is then able to add annotations and capture
the image for further discussion in future lessons. The class has also used it in
Drama lessons where they are asked to act out characters in stories on the camera
as it records.
This visualizer
(document camera)
has become an essential tool in the Marsh
Gibbon CE School classroom. Miss Clare Jefferies is familiar with other
visualizers
(document cameras)
and when asked what advantage the
AVerVision 150 holds over other
visualizers (document
cameras), she said, "It is portable, easy to connect to the
PC, easy to use and the gooseneck is ideal for swiveling around to take photographs
and video. It is a useful tool for the modern classroom.”
