What type of document camera were you using? Also the projector is just as important as the document camera. Could there be any problems on the projectors end (i.e., old bulb, lose cables, etc.)?

Thank you,
Sue

Having a bonafide document camera would be nice. For my small budget, a web cam works wonderfully. I have a web cam with a goose neck that I use in the same way. Just this past week I did an entire clay demonstration using a web cam and projector. The kids followed right along without having to leave their seats. jan
