Document cameras are the best in first grade... I use it all the time in math... fraction overlays... counting coins, ... you name it... I also love it in writing workshop... My kids use the document reader to teach lessons... they show their work and share their thinking and it is like magic cuz everyone can see... writing "in progress" under the lens helps with working in words.... it is expensive but worth every penny!

document cameras are awesome to use teachers and kids can display work, show excerpts from books magazine articles etc. I first saw one being used at Teacher's College and I have one in my room along with my Smartboard. I use Inspiration and Kidspiration with students and it is fantastic for a visual organization tool it really helps the kids bring things together and then they can take it to an outline form and even dump the info into a word document.
