Havin Fun with Elmo

The Elmo Document camera has been a great help in the classroom. Not only is it space efficient, but it has more features than the other visualizer that I was using previously. The ability to pause frames and manipulate them without the students seeing is a big help when students need time to work independently before reviewing an assignment. I also have grown accustomed to the zoom function. The students are more involved when you get a close up image of an object and then view it from a different perspective.

In addition to me enjoying the Elmo, the students in my class really enjoy using the Elmo. Students feel really empowered and in control when they can show what they have learned to the whole class while demonstrating proficient use of the Elmo.
