Virtual Hardware Brief
Product: Ken-A-Vision gooseneck cameras are high quality and versatile classroom tools. They display documents, presentations, or images from a traditional microscope to a screen for a larger group to see simultaneously.
Pros: It's an analog version for connection to a TV, projector, or VCR. These models do not require a computer or software, but there is an optional Video to USB adaptor available allowing connection to a computer. The advantage of these models is that they are typically higher resolution, creating sharper images on a TV compared with their digital counterpart.
Cons: This type of equipment is on the costly side for the typical school district.

Using this equipment, your students will retain more visual knowledge when viewing intricate details
