> > Kindergarten, A.1.b Description: The Document Camera was used to enhance instruction on math lessons on "Large" and "Small". Like objects (i.e. 2 spoons, flags, books, records, rainsticks) were collected for display, their size being the main characteristic varied. The students were encouraged to handle the objects as a pair. Teacher interjected "Large" using a booming voice and outstretched hands and "Small" using a light, sqeaky voice with hands together. The objects were placed on the document camera stage for large group participation during review. Student photo reflects Renee placing objects on the document stage for comparison. The students each had opportunities to participate at their maximum level of independence. **__ Reflection: __** I have had difficulty having the Elmo program correctly downloaded on my computer so that I may take still pictures. Another STEP participant had the program successfully installed and I shared his computer for the Still Capture pictures used here. Otherwise, using the Document Camera across all instructional domains has been a positive reinforcer to lessons for reading- {D.E.A.R. -Drop Everything and Read portrayed as other teacher photo}, math - {using a pictograph to gather, organize and display information}, science { using a microscope to enhance learning about food chains}, and social studies - {February had many celebrations. We used the document camera to reinforce lessons on Dental Health, Valentine's Day, Black History, Heart Month, and made shadows for Groundhog Day}. Using the document camera has had a positive impact as an assistive technology tool that benefits the diverse learner and his/her special learning style. Because worksheets, objects, and other written documents are so easy to use, the students not only get to have their individual worksheet but the document camera worksheet as another opportunity for them to reinforce instruction. Our school theme is “Moving Beyond Potential in Every Aspect of Our Being". The intellectually challenged female class of students known as the “Sassy Six”, were observed to be doing just that with the inclusion of the document camera in instruction.
