Layne Can you tell why they chose the document camera over the white board? Our staff members are making that same request here at BGHS. We are looking at placing a document camera, whiteboard or projector in each room. I would like to know what they are basing their decision on.

We have looked at all the other types and are sticking with the Smart product. As we use more and more of the Document Cameras, we get farther and farther away from the interactive whiteboards. I had a teacher who had both and ended up giving his smartboard to another teacher because he never used it anymore. for every smartboard, I can buy 3 Document cameras, or 2 doc. cameras and a projector.
