2. In the 1940s the first overhead projector were used by police for criminal profiles andthe U.S Army for military training. Roger Appledorn invented the modern overheadprojector in the 1960s. It was a flop until he reached out to businesses and teachersacross the country in order to increase the sales of the product and by the 1960s and70s it was used by many businesses and classrooms. 3. The Elmo Projector is a document camera that displays objects anddocuments that are not transparent. The Elmo digital camera displaymore than just documents but can be used to display three-dimensionalobjects. 4.

The overhead projector was very important in the classroom for displaying information so thatall students could see at one time and it saved the teacher from having to write all thisinformation on the chalkboard.

Objects and other material on the chalkboard.Some of the disadvantages of the overhead projector were that it could only display stillobjects and transparencies . Also, as for its size, it was a large and bulky type of equipmentThat took up a lot of space.The Elmo can do a lot of things that the overhead could not such as display live and in colorobjects that brings the presentation to life, display in 3D dimension, and can display differenttypes of documents that do not have to be transparent and textbook material. 11. The Elmo projector makes the overhead projector, slide projector and opaque projectorobsolete.The Elmo projector rekindles the Overhead projector, chalk board, and blackboardfrom the past.The Elmo projector represents an increase in students learning and achievement.

Overhead Projector was: First used by the police for criminal profiles and by the U.S Army for militarytraining. In the 1940s. The overhead projector became popular when Roger Appledorn introduced it toteachers in the 1960s. A major manufacturer of the overhead projector was acompany called 3M (Wikipedia, 2011). Teachers used it for instruction in order to deliver their lessons through the use oftransparency paper. In the 1980s and 90s, teachers used the overhead projector to presentmaterial to students in their classrooms.(Google, 2011) 15. It helped teachers to present pre-printed material and saved them timefrom having to write this material on the blackboard.Emerged from the opaque projector.More beneficial in presenting material than the opaque projector.It was more beneficial than the opaque projector in presentingmaterial and information.The overhead projector did not require as much preparation as theslide projector required. 16. (Google, 2011) 17. Emerging Technology Elmo Projector Is a document camera that displays objects that are not translucent(WiseGEEK, 2011) and was first developed in the 1980s but arrivedaround the early 1990s because of the need for the display of informationand material without using transparencies. Could be used in other areas other than just education such asbusiness, training, and museums. (Google, 2011) 18. Overhead ProjectorThe opaque projector came before the overhead projector.The opaque projector was invented in 1911 which displayedimages through a bright light on non-transparent objects. 19.

Overhead ProjectorIn its day in education, the overhead projector experiencedincreasing returns when teachers used transparencies insteadof making copies of material to pass out to the students. 23.
