Role of Document Camera in education


School, a place where children learn to play, discover, explore and unwind…

Just imagine! What will be the first reaction of those children; if, all of a sudden, a new teaching aid gets introduced in a 5th standard classroom.

Now; you must be wondering what this could be? And what this new teaching aid will do or change in the classroom?

Well, I would answer the second question first. This ‘secret’ teaching aid will do wonders in the classroom, for sure and this teaching aid can change or I can say, ‘Revive’ the whole spirit of that classroom.

Let me break the suspense…This teaching aid is a Vision Visualiser which is also known as Document Camera or Visual Presenter.  A Vision Visualiser is a type of video camera that is used to display text, 2D or 3D object on display devices like Interactive Whiteboards, plasma screens and touch screens.
           
As parents, we all know that how important schooling is for our little ones? At the same time, we also know that all the teaching solutions including Visualisers, Interactive Whiteboards, Student Response Systems and Projectors also play an equally important role in educating our children.

Genee’s entire range of Vision Visualisers is mesmerizing and worth considering. At the very first glance you will feel the difference. Genee’s Vision Visualiser or Visual Presenter has an ability to ‘revive’ the whole spirit of classroom teaching. These Vision Visualisers can help in grooming children in a much better way, if compared to conventional ways of teaching and learning.

The best part is that Genee’s whole range of Vision Visualisers is extremely useful in visualising the subject matter and improving their logical abilities and understanding of the subject.
Genee’s Vision Visualisers or Document Cameras are extremely useful in educating your kids because:-
·         Genee’s Vision Visualisers helps displaying artefacts and objects in close detail.
·         Interoperability is the key feature of these Vision Visualisers as they can be used in conjunction with data projectors, PC and interactive whiteboards.
·         Genee’s Visual Presenters help in reviewing and evaluating other student’s work by projecting it on a screen or whiteboard for group discussions or general comments.
·          Image freeze, zoom in & positive and negative conversion is also possible with Genee’s Vision Visualisers.
·         Genee’s Visual Presenters can be used for displaying even the complex details of any kind of tangible item, including fossils, photographs, books, 3D objects, X-ray film, art illustrations, maps and similar objects.
·         Genee’s Vision Visualisers work wonders in demonstrating art techniques such as color-mixing, object or paper cutting, origami, brushwork and shading in an art class.
·         Vision Visualisers can be best utilized in demonstrating geometrical technique such as how to use a scale, compass or protractor to accurately measure and draw lengths and angles.

What more can you ask for? As Genee’s Vision Visualisers help you save a lot of money on photo-copying. A Vision Visualiser can take a snapshot in seconds and its image can be viewed through the projector on any flat screen.

Now, stop drawing out the fun just by imagining!!
Turn it into a reality!!

Get your children this incredible presentation tool.

Digital Visualisers

Digital Visualiser

Digital Visualisers are wonderful ICT (Information and communication technology) and teaching tool that show detailed view of text, 2D or 3D object on display devices like projection screen, plasma screens, interactive whiteboards, television etc. Digital Visualisers has an attached video camera for displaying the things. Digital Visualisers are also known as document camera.

Visualisers have a positive influence on interaction between teacher and student. Visualisers helps student absorb and retain various topics of subject by innovative visual technology. Digital Visualisers will permit whole class viewing of any text, image or 3D object, including students’ written work, books, pictures and scientific samples. A Digital Visualiser acts as an input device for feeding images to projectors, television screens computer screens etc. A Digital Visualiser has a variety of functions like zoom, split screen, positive/negative, image capture and video capture to provide effective presentation and easy investigation facility. The zoom function of Digital Visualisers is of great benefit to teacher for teaching. It allows teacher zoom any text and objects. The split screen and mirror functions are also highly valuable in areas such as Math’s and Art and Design discussing symmetry. Digital Visualiser captures images as with scanner and camera. You can save these images into the computer and can be added to presentations for lessons. It helps students improve their reasoning abilities and grasping power. When integrated with interactive whiteboard, Visualiser becomes more powerful ICT solution for education. It can also be integrated with audience response system and other ICT accessories like Wireless graphic tablet .It can be integrated with interactive whiteboard for making annotations on the live object. Teacher can record demonstrations as a video file.

It helps in assessment of students. Students show their scientific work to the whole class and compare their work. This creates a feeling of competition among students and they become active in learning. It is being used in different areas of education such as science, Engineering, medical, dental labs etc. It also acts as a web camera to use in video conferencing of demonstrations in the classrooms to a remote location.

More ever, teacher can record video and capture images with Visualiser for future lessons. Teacher can prepare their own presentation slides using visualiser. Thus, Visualiser should be used in school, colleges and universities to enhance teaching methodology.
