Visual communication tools hand in hand when supporting special education

LetaAnn Miller is a special education teacher in the largest school district in the state of Georgia. Prior to teaching, LetaAnn spent eight years working with individuals with autism and other developmental differences in schools, homes, virtual, and community settings. Having such an opportunity afforded LetaAnn the ability to develop various perspectives of learning, teaching, and supporting students prior to the pandemic and strengthened the desire to find solutions to teaching digitally.

Despite being faced with multiple challenges during the pandemic, both the V4K and iDocCam software have allowed LetaAnn to transition to online teaching with ease while still retaining the engaging element of her teaching.


“When teachers were introduced to IPEVO, it allowed teachers to manipulate the camera’s view, split screens between instructional material, teacher view, and more. Also, it allowed teachers more flexibility in movement while teaching. For instance, once I had the IPEVO software, I could bend my document camera to where it was standing up so my students could see me standing and teaching and not sitting behind a screen without using multiple devices and trying to juggle platforms. Also, it allowed me to manage students and behavior more effectively and provide students with more reinforcement while teaching. Such a simple “tech hack” with the addition of software and materials already provided in the classroom allowed for better teaching without an added financial burden on individuals.”

Before integrating IPEVO products into her teaching, LetaAnn explains:


“Despite having many plans to boost student engagement and learning during digital instruction, doing such a task initially involved multiple components of technology and many pieces of equipment. Expanding the steps to provide quality instruction also expanded the room for error and for technological blips. Witnessing struggles in classrooms I supported and within my own lessons, I easily recognized the need for a more streamlined process of technology.”

LetaAnn saw both efficiency and engagement rise considerably, resulting in a much better experience all around. She explains:


“With the addition of the IPEVO products, I was able to eliminate multiple steps of meeting with students online, providing instruction and sharing materials. This afforded opportunities for varied instruction and building stronger connections with all students.”

As an passionate and dedicated educator, LetaAnn was successful in utilizing IPEVO products for not only herself but also for the whole county. She summarizes:


“When considering life over the past year, returning to big pictures, struggles, and deficits is easy. Conversely, when moments of success or improvements are broken apart and considered for every piece, the magnitude of its impact is amplified. I am beyond grateful for the addition of IPEVO to our county, school, and classroom. Not only did their customer service team go above and beyond to troubleshoot issues and develop a meaningful connection when interactions with others are vastly different, they provided educators, students, and families with meaningful change and lasting impact.“

5 ideas on how to use a Wireless Document Camera to improve your lecture

The IPEVO VZ-X , a wireless document camera, is revolutionizing how lectures are taken. The VZ-X features three connection modes, namely Wi-Fi, HDMI, and USB. You can also use it with a computer, iOS/ Android devices, or directly with a projector or TV. Now, let’s look at five ways you can use the IPEVO VZ-X to improve your lecture.
  1. Interactively in a small classroom
Say you are teaching a small classroom and you fancy showing each student’s work to the members of the class. All you need is the Wireless Document Camera, VZ-X, and a big screen. You can hold the VZ-X in your hand, walk around the class while showcasing it on the big screen. Thanks to the Wi-Fi connectivity, you won’t have to deal with wire, and with a battery life of up to 12 hours, you can have a productive and interactive class or session without interruption.

  1. For a bigger setting
When in a bigger setting, the VZ-X can also be utilized. Thanks to the Wi-Fi mode, speakers can connect their device to the VZ-X and move around freely without having to worry about cables. So, that way, speakers can have their work displayed on bigger screens in the auditorium for all to see.

  1. Online learning
You can also use the VZ-X as a webcam for video conferencing or remote learning/teaching via third-party communication software like Zoom, teams, and skype. You are not restrained by cable as you can connect the VZ-X to your device through Wi-Fi without interrupting your internet connectivity. To stay connected to your network while using VZ-X in Wi-Fi mode, see the step-by-step guide here.

  1. Connect wirelessly to your iPad and make annotations with the help of the IPEVO WHITEBOARD
With both the VZ-X and the IPEVO WHITEBOARD App, you can take learning and presentations to the next level. With IPEVO Whiteboard, you can expand your wireless freedom to the maximum. It is a software that lets you make and share annotations, pictures, objects, text, and screens even as you present them. All you have to do is connect the VZ-X via Wi-Fi to an iPad using the IPEVO Whiteboard, and then you can begin to annotate. But that is not all; you can also record both audio and video as well as take snapshots. It is also possible to display through a large audience when you present on a big screen — of course, with no wire to deal with. Features and tools that make the IPEVO Whiteboard PRO an interesting software include 20 background templates, disappearing ink, browser window, add a map, picture-in-picture, laser pointer, and many more.

  1. Pair the VZ-X with the IPEVO Visualizer
The IPEVO Visualizer lets you display, record, and modify the video feed from a computer camera. When you pair it with the VZ-X, you can begin to visualize things in a new way. You can add additional value to your lecture with features like reading aids, split-screen, picture-in-picture, slow-motion, and many more. With the reading aid feature, you have access to additional tools like the line marker, highlight strip, magnifier, and masking. The split-screen feature lets you use more than one camera in presentations for side-by-side comparisons of different materials. Picture-in-picture is another feature of the Visualizer you will find interesting. For video recording or live presentation, you can use the main window to show your presentation and the pinned overlay window to show yourself talking it through. Slow-motion recording lets you record in slow motion.

現在,讓我們來看看無線實物攝影機如何提升教學互動的5種方法。

  1. 小型教室授課提升互動性

在小型教室授課,想展示每位學生的作品給全班看時,只需要一台 VZ-X 無線實物攝影機和大螢幕便可輕鬆達到這個目的。可以手持 VZ-X 在教室間走動,輕鬆拍攝學生作品、展示投影到大螢幕上。 因為使用 Wi-Fi 傳輸影像,行動無需受線材限制,電池續航時間更長達12小時,讓課堂或會議進行時不受干擾,提高成效並享受豐富的互動過程 。

  1. 大型教室或會議環境亦適用

在大型教室、會議空間或場地時,VZ-X也很適合。透過Wi-Fi模式,講者將設備連線至VZ-X便可以自由移動,不必擔心線材的限制。講者亦可在大型講堂裡,輕鬆展示作品在更大的銀幕上,供所有人觀看。

  1. 線上學習

使用VZ-X作為網路攝影機,透過第三方通訊軟體(例如teams、skype、line和Zoom)可以進行視訊會議、遠距教學或線上學習。經由Wi-Fi將VZ-X連接到設備,不受線材的限制,並且能持續保持網路連線。

在VZ-X Wi-Fi模式下需要保持網路連線時,可參閱詳細的步驟指南.

  1. VZ-X無線連接至iPad,搭配IPEVO WHITEBOARD白板軟體,可在影像上筆記、註解

使用VZ-X搭配 IPEVO WHITEBOARD App,擴展「無線」自由,授課、學習或簡報的呈現如虎添翼。這是一款可應用在簡報時,製作及分享筆記註釋、圖片、實物、文字和螢幕的軟體。

只需將VZ-X透過Wi-Fi連接到iPad並開啟 IPEVO WHITEBOARD,便能開始筆記、註釋。不僅如此,還可以錄製聲音、影像以及使用截圖功能。亦可分享至大螢幕上,讓更多觀眾觀看,當然是以無線方式,讓簡報方式更自由。

豐富的功能及工具,讓IPEVO WHITEBOARD PRO成為相當受歡迎的軟體,這些功能包含20 個背景範本、消失墨水、瀏覽視窗、新增地圖、子母畫面、雷射筆等。

  1. VZ-X搭配 IPEVO Visualizer軟體使用

IPEVO Visualizer 可提供使用者展示、錄製和編輯來自電腦攝影鏡頭的影像。電腦開啟IPEVO Visualizer並與VZ-X配對後,新的視覺化方式可讓簡報、展示更生動。例如使用閱讀輔助工具、分割螢幕、子母畫面、慢動作錄影等以及許多其他功能,增進課堂趣味。

使用閱讀輔助功能時,另有附加工具,如線條標記、螢光條、放大鏡及遮罩模式等。分割螢幕功能在簡報時可使用兩個攝影鏡頭,同時並排展示不同的文件或實物進行比較。

子母畫面是Visualizer另一個有趣的功能,影片錄製或現場直播時,使用主窗口來展示呈現,而子窗口則可以觀看講者生動解說。慢動作錄影功能則是讓使用者錄製慢動作影片,呈現不同效果。
