Abstract

Our lives have been transformed by new technology and it is no surprise that technology is quickly making its way into the classroom. Teachers are using document cameras, computers, LCD projectors, and digital cameras to teach students. With this influx of technology comes of a lack of professional development and training. Many teachers lack the skills and desire to effectively use technology in preparing and delivering standards-based lessons. An elementary school in northern California purchased document cameras and LCD projectors for all of its teachers. This implementation project provided a handbook and the staff development required for the staff to successfully use document cameras in delivering effective, engaging, standards-based lessons.
