 * Description: I worked with a group of second and third graders to proofread, revise and extend ideas for Write-A-Book. Each student had the opportunity to put his/her work on the document camera and share. We were able to "zoom" right in on on particular aspects of each student's writing and offer suggestions on how to elaborate, revise and extend his/her writing. I was able to capture the image and project it on the screen and show them how to revise their paper using the software tools.**


 * Reflection: The students were highly motivated by the use of the document camera. They enjoyed seeing their writing and their pictures enlarged on the screen much better than on the visualizer. They said it was clearer for them to see. They enjoyed seeing their work in color. I like how compact the document camera is in comparison to the visualizer. The only problem I see, is how it focuses gives me a headache. The document camera is easy to use and I like the ability to capture the image and "draw" on it as necessary for instruction. The students thought that feature was "cool."**
