Lyman Hall Elementary first-grade teacher Erin Crandall demonstrates how the HoverCam device works in the classroom. The USB-powered device allows projections of objects to be shown to the class, much like an overhead projector, but it can also be used with the interactive whiteboard. The HoverCam can also scan documents to make emailing, archiving and organizing files quicker.
In a Lyman Hall Elementary classroom, music teacher Tony Villarini is instructing his students via an interactive whiteboard on how to play the guitar. While the rest of the fifth-grade class either practices keyboarding or math skills in other areas, a small group sits staring up at the screen. Each strums along with the music projected, while Villarini supervises.
