When I first heard of the E.L.M.O., I immediately thought of the character from Sesame Street. I thought, how could Elmo help teach students of all ages? After doing some research, I found that the E.L.M.O. could be very valuable in the classroom.
One of the benefits of using a document camera is that it can effectively allow students to easily view details of two-dimensional or three-dimensional objects which would otherwise be very difficult for the students to see. The E.L.M.O. can display three-dimensional objects from any angel.
The E.L.M.O. has a portable remote referred to as "Frosty" because it is white and shaped like a snowman. The remote allows the teacher to highlight important details, shade, zoom, brighten or dim the screen from anywhere in the classroom.
I think the E.L.M.O. is a very useful instructional aid and presentation aid in education.
This tool sounds amazing! I have never really heard much about E.L.M.O. until reading your blog post. I, being a visual learner, think that this could help all different students progress in the classroom. In school I struggled some because I was such a visual learner that if I couldn't see something it was hard to learn the material. I think this is a great idea and will help so many people! I would definitely use E.L.M.O in my classroom!
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of this either. E.L.M.O. seems to be very interesting. I would like to get the chance to use it and see how exactly it works. Like Alayna, I too am a visual learner, and from the sounds of it, I wish my schools would have had this resource. Hopefully we get to use it one day, and potentially use it in our classrooms.
