[Athen] video magnifiers for distance

[foreigntype at gmail.com]

Christina, et al.

For some students, a quick, inexpensive way to provide a document camera
for a student with low vision like this might work. We can use the
student's smartphone, a small flexible desktop tripod for the phone, a USB
connector, the student's laptop, & a screen sharing app. The student can
use screen enlargement on their laptop as needed and they have the option
of taking screen shots to save info from the whiteboard. The screen sharing
app on the smartphone projects the image to their laptop screen.

Hope this makes sense!
