Scanning Applications Explanation A scanner and most copiers have an application that willscan a page and then create an electronic file. The new electronic file will usually come up as a jpeg which is usuallya picture file or some scanners will scan a document into a PDF file. A similar application is the ELMO which usesa scanner to view the materials and then project them to a type of screen. Application If I have a book that I want to display to my students, Ican scan the book along with the pictures and transmit that information to a monitoror s projection screen.

Comment: Cheryl Prindle I think it would be a good way to save demonstrative samples of student work or projects without having to save the actual copy. Once the work is on the computer it could be enlarged on the classroom screen and would be more visible in order to point out aspects of it to your students.
