Our document cameras came from a company called IPEVO. This company believes in helping teachers. Go to the following link: WishPool. Here you can sign up and make a wish for free technology. I ran into several teachers at the NCTies Conference who received great stuff from the WishPool.
Don’t forget DonorsChoose.org. Choose a project and it may be bought for your classroom. Here are two other funding ideas: 1) Go Fund Me and 2) DigitalWish.com
