The Document Camera

Need:

• A need to display real-time image capture devices for displaying an object to a large audience.

Visual of the use

Research:

• The document camera stemmed from the overhead projector which was originally the innovation used for its purpose.

• The first creators of the overhead projector was a company called 3M.

Info on findings and manufacturers

Development:

• The police and army originally was the first users of the overhead projector in the 1940s.

• Today’s user is mainly the education field and businesses who need to use project for a large crowd as in a training or information session.

Visual: How it is use, for whom and why.

Commercialization:

Production, manufacturers, packaging, marketing and distribution

Visual on various company products of document camera

In the beginning was the episcope.

Early uses

• First use of the episcope was in the University of Cambridge lecture hall.

• Mainly used as a child’s toy

• Artists used them to enlarge images

Roger Appledorn

• Creator of the first overhead projector, he developed a machine to show writing on clear film.

• Slow to adoption due to non-uniformity in handwritten copies creating the onset of photocopies.

Today

• 1980• mostly monochrome• projected moving

images on screen• began to become

colored

• 2000 +• Document cameras,

digital/lcd projectors replacing overhead projectors

• Projection directly from computer software

Early Adopters and Innovators of the Document Camera

New and Younger teachers -

Compatibility, the need to be innovative in teaching, lack of exp.

Laggards in the adoption of the Document camera in education-

Older, set in their ways, experienced teachers who see no needfor change to occur.

Trialability and observability would help them to readily adopt the innovation.

To reach the masses, observability would be the best attribute to helppromote the innovation and show others the complexity is minimum.

A decentralized approach is best for adoption of the Document Camera

• It would take peer diffusion of innovations through horizontal networks.

• Innovation come from experimentation of non experts, who often are users.

• A problem-centered approach; technology pull, created by locally perceived needs and problems.

Key Change Agents in K-12 Ed.

• Classroom teachers• Media Specialists• Technology teachers• Administration• Core subject coaches• Students

Seven roles of the change agentChange agent will:

-Figure out what is needed in the classroom for efficiency

-Create a way for the school to determine what is important to student education.

-find out what needs to be done

-start the process for the innovation to be introduced

-help with the implementation and continuance of the adoption

-monitor the process of the innovation and adaptation

Critical Mass has been met.

• The strategy that should be used to push the further adoption of the document camera is incentive for early adoption. Allow for the use of the camera in the individual’s setting with a little instruction, and it will sell itself.
