District 20 has 16 document cameras, also known as visual presenters, that display objects or information to students.

Technology coordinator Jo Wiggins described them as high-resolution document cameras mounted on arms which allow a teacher to write on a sheet of paper or display a two- or three-dimensional object on a whiteboard.

“This tool engages students with a variety of learning styles and abilities,” Wiggins said.

Dudley Elementary second-grade teacher Wendy Bartels said she likes her document camera and uses the equipment often.
