1. Remote and hybrid learning – ELMO a remote lesson for students to have a visual aid on their screens at home. An example would be an English teacher breaking down a grammatical sentence in a book for all students to follow along and visualize on their screens at home.

2. STEM lessons – utilize crystal clear live imaging during a science lesson, where the tiniest detail shouldn’t be missed. ELMO document cameras zoom in to capture the smallest organ in a frog dissection experiment quickly to keep your students’ attention.

3. Webcam – ELMO document cameras double as webcams also, with a crisper image then most computer webcams.
