Using document
cameras in the early
childhood classroom
Have you got the "new technology blues"? Is your ELMO gathering dust in the corner? The ideas below will
give you new and exciting ideas for using your ELMO. Using an ELMO in the classroom will revolutionize the
way you teach and the way your students learn. Using the ELMO in your classroom daily will take both you
and your students to a whole new level of teaching and learning you never though possible.
Get rid of your old dinosaur overhead and kick it up two notches with an ELMO!
Word Walls:
Create mini thematic word walls in Word using clip art, print and lay under the document camera
during writers workshop or journal time so the students can easily see the words if needed.
Free
printable word walls are available on all of my theme pages (see resources).
Poems & Charts:
Letter Identification/letter sounds: Make Dr. Jean’s Letter Baby w/paper plate and put under the
document camera. Play the song “I’ve Got the Whole Alphabet in My Mouth” while spinning the wheel
with the song.
Letter Identification/letter sounds: Put an ABC chart under the document camera to use with Dr.
Jean’s song “Who Let the Letters Out?” Or you can use the chart when you are doing interactive
writing and the student needs to find a particular letter. This way the whole class can see and help in
the selection.
Concepts of Print: Type out the words to the Frog Street color songs or any poem or song in Word,
then put under the ELMO and have students follow along on the big screen with a big pointer as you
say the poem or sing. You can add clip art to make it look “pretty” and to give contextual clues to the
students
Morning Message:
Use the document camera to pro
ect your mornin
messa
e on the bi
screen. Students can use wikki
stix,
pointers, highlighters etc to find punctuation, words, spaces, count words etc.
ABC Manipulatives:
Use the ABC manipulatives from the Lakeshore ABC tubs. Place the little manipulatives under the
document camera and have the students name each object and listen to the initial sound. This way all
students can clearly see the tiny objects. Put one object that does not belong under the camera and
see if they can figure out which one doesn’t belong. Lakeshore also has word family tubs that you can
do the same thing with
