Works Great With Just A Computer And Projector . . . Even Better With An Interactive Whiteboard.
Featuring great simplicity and ease of use, Logical Choice’s 3Cam™ is optimized for today’s interactive 21st Century Classrooms, but is not limited to use with interactive whiteboards (IWBs). You operate the camera from a "teacher friendly" control panel in the 3Cam software. Teachers using the Promethean ActivClassroom have the option of launching that control panel from a 3Cam icon that appears within the Promethean ActivStudio or ActivInspire toolbar. Like the teacher pictured on the front cover, you can annotate over any live projected image that is displayed on an IWB. Enlarge or reduce your image simply by using the zoom tool in the 3Cam control panel or in any IWB software.

Capture A Photo Of Anything And Paste It Into Your IWB Lesson Plan Or Powerpoint.
Point the 3Cam flexible camera head wherever you want and project real objects LIVE on an IWB, screen or wall. View frogs, students, a circuit board, a leaf, insects, a magazine page or overhead transparencies… the possibilities are endless. And then, snap a photo with one simple click in the software control panel. Paste those photos into your lesson plans (flipcharts) and use them over and over. Lay any 8.5 x 11 page under the camera and your class will see the entire color page at once. When desired, click another button to rotate the projected image 180º.

Record And Play Quality Full Motion Video Clips Of Classroom Activities.
Thanks to the 3Cam’s high frame rate of up to 30 frames per second, the unit also operates as a classroom video camera. You can view or record classroom activities in real time. By simply attaching a wired or wireless microphone to your computer, you can also record audio into your video recording. You will not see the "jerkiness" common in the video playback on document cameras with lower frame rates. Imagine the teaching possibilities by adding full-motion videos from inside the classroom into your flipcharts.

Use Your 3cam As A Web Camera Or A Simple, Low-Cost Distance Learning Tool.
Utilizing free, open source software like Skype™ in conjunction with your 3Cam, students can view and hear your classroom live from home. Imagine having the capability for a sick student to go online at home and see and hear the teacher delivering that day’s lesson in real time. Similarly, your class could see and talk to other interactive classrooms down the hall or around the world. Broadcast a live professional development session to other schools. The 3Cam can be used in so many ways beyond the traditional use of a document camera.
