Hi there! I'm so excited to be able to bring my review of the Luna document camera by Learning Resources. Although my 'try out' didn't go as smoothly as I wanted it to {operator issues!} I am honored to have this tool available for use in my classroom.
First of all, this is a great opportunity since the Luna retails for $199 through Learning Resources. After using it, I will say that it gives just as good of an image as the Elmo which I have used before. The Luna also provides video recording and image capturing. I used the video component {not on purpose! lol} during my 'try out.' Once I went back and reviewed the video, I was very impressed with the audio of the video. The sound was very clear and it did an excellent job with eliminating background noises that you didn't need. For example, my voice was loud and clear, and you could hear the students' responses, but other
annoying noises were not as clear. This was great since I teach 4th grade and
they we can become a little irritated at sitting still and listening.
Here's a screen capture of the video. I would include the video, but it was the end of the school year, I had just come back from maternity leave, and it was... well, just CRAZY! lol
Overall, I am SUPER excited to have this tool in my classroom, and I'm sure I will use it several times a week to help my students understand EXACTLY what I want them to do.
Here's the great part.... Learning Resources is going to give one of these great tools to one of my followers. There are a few things you need to do first.
