Below, I'm embedding a handy little "cheat sheet" that I created for use with the Ipevo Document Camera.  The chart shows how to navigate the different menu options.  It was created using MS Publisher, then published as a PDF using Primo PDF, and published online with Slideshare.  Please feel free to copy/alter/distribute.

IPEVO P2V UPDATE

4/13/2011

0 Comments

 
I've been using my IPEVO p2v camera for about a week now, and I love it!  For the price, you really can't ask for more.  I created the screencast below to demonstrate some of the uses for it.  For more ideas on how to use this, or any other document camera, visit Tom Barrett's Interesting Ways To Use a Visualizer.  My students were dazzled with the ability to project live images from the camera to the Smart Board, and many of them wanted to test it out by projecting each other on the big screen (go figure).  I'm excited about how much time and paper this little gizmo will save me; hopefully, it will reduce the amount of frantic races to the copy room when I realize that I forgot to run off one hundred and twenty copies of vocabulary worksheets or bellringer activities.  I'm  excited about finding more ways to put this camera to use.  Please feel free to comment on your own experiences with document cameras.

On Another Note: The embedded video was shot in a low light setting, similar to the lighting in my classroom when most of the lights are turned off.

IPEVO Document Camera for $69

The IPEVO p2v camera seems like a wonderful (not to mention cost-effective) option when compared to pricier document cameras, such as the Smart document camera or the Elmo.  It's only $69 and is compatible with both Macs and PCs.  It can function as a webcam or a document camera.  It hooks up to your computer via USB port, and it can be clipped to your computer, hand held, or attached to a stand for use.  Watch the embedded video below to see it in action.  This piece of equipment seems very user-friendly, even for reluctant technology users.  It also comes with an auto-focus button, which is sure to come in handy.  This camera is only a few dollars more than most presentation mice, and way cheaper than a replacement bulb for your projector!  This would be a great way for me to save some trees.  Instead of photocopying all of my bellringer activities, I can simply set one copy under the camera and project the image onto my board.  From the reviews I've seen online, the picture quality rivals that of more expensive document cameras.  The only downside seems to be that the software that comes with this camera does not allow you to record presentations, although this may be possible with additional software. 


Note: Since the original posting, I have had success using the IPEVO to create screencasts using Screenr.
