Oh Snap!

I was working with a group of 7th Grade English Teachers on a project where we were going to have to scan 21 drawings per group for over 1000 scans on the scanner. I came up with the idea of using the Document Camera to capture our drawings! It was a SNAP! We were able to capture the image save it to our file and it took a lot less time and we saved a ton of wear and tear on the one scanner in the LMC.
