Document camera and WYNN Wizard!!!!
It is not difficult for me to get excited about technology, but this week I am VERY excited about a new discovery that our wonderful tech support guy came up with! We have a bright student with low vision and motor impairments in a 4th grade general ed classroom who needs to have worksheets and reading materials enlarged so that he can see them. Writing is also a challenge and this student does best using an on-screen keyboard on a touch screen. Solution: document camera + WYNN Wizard + touch screen monitor = success! Worksheets or reading materials are simply placed under the document camera that is connected to a computer with a touch screen monitor. WYNN Wizard is then opened, the scan button is pressed, and the worksheet or book appears on the monitor! At this point, all of the wonderful tools in WYNN can be used--enlarging, reading, highlighting, dictionary etc---and the student can answer questions by typing in the answer (using the on screen keyboard w/ touch screen in this case). Quick and easy solution!
