Zoom and Document Cameras

A document camera allows faculty to display documents, and even write on documents for students to see. Document cameras sit on a surface and point down at a document that student can see while faculty displays, works on or annotates the document. Also, many document cameras are connected directly to a computer, which allows those learning in a remote environment to see the same thing as those in the classroom see.

You can view the instructions on how a document camera work in the classroom and with Zoom, select the doc cam below and follow these instructions.
