Elmo Again

Well, I have grown accustomed to using the Elmo almost everyday in my classroom. I use it to show books, check assignments, model note taking, enlarge images, and take pictures. It is very easy and user friendly. There is one thing that I have noticed that could use some improvement...the color or lighting. Since the Elmo does not have a backlight or overhead lighting, it tends to be a little difficult to see when someone is wearing something that is a dark color. The students get distracted when the Elmo begins the automatic coolor adjustment.
