NEED: I need to see my students' writing and math “live”. Many can’t afford drawing tablets or pens. Writing with a mouse or trackpad is just too difficult. Also, the physical writing is so important.
These IPEVO Mirror-Cams are a great simple and cost-effective solution. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B089Q8P17H?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
PROBLEM: Since they are mirrors, the image that displays is obviously backwards. There is a free software download to correct this, but it’s only when using the actual software. It would require screen sharing in order for me to see their writing “live. I don’t want my students to have to leave the platform or mess with their computer camera settings in order to fix this.
SOLUTION: If students and teacher could screen mirror as an option, students could easily share a whiteboard or paper “live”.
This would also be handy for teachers when we don’t have access to our doc cams when traveling, if tech issues, etc.
