Nursery students had the opportunity to experiment with a document camera. They began by exploring freely to become familiar with this device and understand how it works.

During our caterpillar project in the classroom, the document camera allowed us to zoom in, record, and take photos of the caterpillars' appearance, body parts, movement, and actions while visible to everyone on the big screen.
We also used it to observe other insects found by students in the playground or at home more closely, which we couldn’t do with a regular camera or a magnifying glass. Thanks to the specific features of the document camera, we were able to compare, contrast, and find similarities among the physical characteristics of each insect.
We recorded children’s movements and voices and are now ready to share our video with all children in EC and pre-first.
- “I like it because I like making videos.”
- “I like it because I can now teach my baby brother in my house.”
- “I like it because I will show it to my grandma, she lives very, very, far away.”
- “I didn’t like it because my face looks weird.”
- “I liked it because now I can be famous.”
