Giveaway Monday: Luna Interactive Projection Camera!

Hey Friends!
I am so excited to bring you today's giveaway from Learning Resources. Of the three great products I got to review, this is by far my favorite. It's the Luna Interactive Projection Camera!

I have a document camera in my room and I use it every single day. It's a basic, low-end workhorse kind of doc cam - nothing fancy and fraught with limitations that have always bugged me. One of them being that the fixed arm does not allow me to show an entire piece of paper at once unless it's something printed on landscape. It also doesn't really show colors very well, it's supposed to, but it doesn't. I also can not use something on my document camera and then interact with it using my Smartboard tools.

So imagine my delight when this little baby showed up! It does all of the things above that my doc cam doesn't.  The Luna is very different from most document cameras that I've seen. This one actually connects directly to your computer with an included USB cable, which supplies the power as well. The included software actually shows the image on my computer screen. This enables me to project onto my Smartboard so that I can use my markers to write over things or highlight important areas. This is a MAJOR plus for me!

It also has a long, flexible neck that allows me to project any size page I need to, including open picture books. I can also display real objects for the kids to get a better look, like math manipulatives or science experiments. The colors show up so much brighter too! This has been great for displaying examples of finished projects.

You can see in the picture below that the Luna has a nice small footprint too. It takes up much less space than my other doc cam. Sounds great right? Well, it gets even better. The Luna actually takes pictures AND video WITH audio! You can save these right to your computer with one touch. The long, flexible neck makes it easy to rotate it to film or snap pix.

One of the best things about this amazing device is the price. It's hard to find a document camera that does less than the Luna for $600, a really good one is easily $1,000. The Luna sells for just $199! And here's the very best part, you have a chance to win one of your own!
