Mr. Jethro Gillespie, SJHS art teacher, recently received a grant for the Nebo Foundation for a document camera. This document camera helps him to show his classes demonstrations using authentic materials, “if I try to show students how to shade with charcoal, I can now show everyone in the class.”

Mr. Gillespie explained that with the camera he can show the students how to do the different techniques on the big screen on the front of the class. Not all teachers have a document camera right know, but Mr. Gillespie hopes that soon all teachers will have them in their classrooms.

Mr. Gillespie is happy to have the projector in his class because has been very beneficial to his class.
