Elmo is not just a cute fuzzy red character on Sesame Street! An ELMO is a brand of document camera and has quickly become one of my favorite feature to accompany our SMART board in the art room!! The document camera projects what ever is below it onto the interactive white board. It is great for the teacher to show a drawing or painting demo so that each students can see it close up. On this occasion 4th graders were studying 3-D forms and composition's. We used Elmo to display a student created composition so that all could sketch the same thing. We also used the interactive whiteboard to outline and emphasize the placement of the forms. In the second day of this lesson we used the Elmo for a charcoal shading demo. The finished projects will be posted soon!
