We use Tech2Teach devices for interaction and presentation purposes. They improve the quality of education in a dynamic and innovative way. We are discovering a new technological feature, through these devices, they add creativity and valued projection capabilities to teaching and learning.

At Tech2Teach, our goal is to learn and demonstrate how to best use Tech2Teach document viewers. We expect the devices to broaden the horizons of teaching and learning, improve the quality of interaction between learner and teacher, especially with the addition of a Blended approach. The device makes collaboration easier by providing a projection and scanning tool with real-time connection.

The Tech2Teach device is the advancement of the overhead projector in the 21st century. A Tech2Teach device doesn't even need to be connected to a computer. The device can be easily connected to any visual display device such as an HDTV. This means schools can project and operate interactive whiteboard functionality for a quarter of the cost.

As part of this guide, I will explore some of the features of the Tech2Teach (Document Viewer). I am excited about features which allow the teacher to overcome many of the limitations currently associated with our historical period, online learning, November 3rd and education in Covid. Thanks to DocVisu technology and the use of Tech2Teach devices, a teacher translates his strictly defined interaction with the paper onto the learner through digital projection technology.

We're investigating desktop sharing in Microsoft Teams. The same approach would be applied when using Google Meet, Zoom, Hangouts, Cisco Webex, etc. In the first case we are using a camera; showing how the main interaction is connected through the Windows camera. Then we move on to the software features beyond the basic projection.

We will examine the Tech2Teach software's scanning capabilities. This includes viewing the selection and scanning procedure. We then convert Scan to readable Microsoft Word and Adobe formats using optical character recognition - docx and pdf.

We turn to the study of the automated collection of digitized versions of hard copy. This indicates the automatic scanning of worksheets and tests, time lapse and detection of change. Automated Scan featuring allow work to be easily collected and digitized. The digital representation of the printout explains a new dynamic with which the assessment needs and verification requirements of good teaching methods can be met. 

I will demonstrate the dynamics of overcoming the complexities of converting and formatting scanned files. We consider an example of digital marking with a PDF of an rough sketch. In this lesson we will use Adobe Reader to interact in paper style in fill and sign mode.
