This document camera is inexpensive. Charles Best, used to be a Bronx history teacher, help donors and teachers to connect online through Donorschoose. Best says, “ Laptops are important, but before you spend a million dollars per school providing one laptop per child...won't you please spend $5,000 per school equipping every classroom with a document camera?”
