Great Document Camera, Great Price

The iPEVO document camera is a very simple, portable, and easy to use camera. The price is right too, only $69.   We just finished a week of training for all of our elementary teachers on the new camera and projectors and I have to say that I am impressed with the camera.  

The camera has a great picture quality, timer feature, and a zoom.  Photos can be added to other applications such as PowerPoint very easily.  The camera is two megapixels and features a zoom that makes it easy to see what is projected.  Even better is the ease of use and portability.  Set up is simple and the camera is small and light weight.  Teachers were up and running in minutes.

 It is an amazing little camera that is an excellent tool for any classroom.      Find out more details at http://www.ipevo.com/prods/Point-2-View-USB-Camera .
