Bonelk Flexible Neck USB Webcam — 1080p
$63.63 ex GST
($69.99 inc GST)
A 1080p webcam on a flexible gooseneck that stands on a desk. The neck is the point — it lets you aim the camera at a desk, a book, a science demonstration or a model, which a screen-mounted camera physically cannot do.
What it does:
1080p video over USB
Adjustable flexible neck on a weighted desktop base
Built-in microphone
Plug and play — no drivers or software
Where it earns its place:
A low-cost visualiser for showing worked examples and texts
Science demonstrations recorded or streamed to a display
Stop-motion animation and maker documentation
Video calls where the standard angle doesn't work
Worth comparing with a proper document camera if visualising is the main use — a HoverCam gives better optics and focus control. This is the option when budget matters more than image quality, or when the camera has to do both jobs.

CUSTOM LICENCES AVAILABLE ON THIS PRODUCT. PLEASE ADD TO QUOTE WITH YOUR REQUIREMENTS.
The new STEAM edition of KID PIX enters a world where art and science reunite and critical thinking meets creative making.
Young artists can now transform their digital stories and adventures into interactive digital art, science and math projects with the help of STEAM activities tailored to suit the needs of your ingenious young innovators.
New button actions enable students to design interactive quizzes or create a learning game. Using a variety of animated costumes and their own recorded videos, students can star in their documentaries or talk to an animated character who shares the screen.
Features
NEW! Interactivity
New button actions enable students to design interactive quizzes
NEW! Voiceovers for slide shows
Record a full narration for your entire slide show, or give voices to the characters in your animated story.
Path Gestures
Rotating and resizing stickers, animations, movies and text while moving along a path is as simple as pinching and dragging, making it easy for characters to hop, jump and fly around the screen.
Create Stickers
Students can use the new Sticker Maker tool to create their own stickers out of anything they see or draw on the screen. Stickers are not automatically flattened to the background so they can be resized, rotated, flipped and assigned a path.
Collaborative Video Narration
Two students using the iPad’s built-in dual-view camera can create a video narration for their story, and add animated costume frames that let them not only tell their stories on screen, but appear as characters in them as well.
Interactive Tappable Objects
No longer bound to a linear model, students can create interactive characters that tell their story when tapped, sing a song, play a musical note, make an odd noise, or just fly off the screen.
Layer Tools
Students will learn simple layering concepts (move to front, sent to back, etc.) with the new Layer Tools in the Grab Tools area. Combined with the 3D characters and 3D backgrounds, they can now begin to explore the relationship of scale and perspective.
Presentation Creator
Slide shows and stop-action flipbook movies can be assembled on the same screen as the paint canvas with the new Slide Tube, including setting transitions, slide duration, music tracks and how tot advance to the next slide.

Twelve South HoverBar Duo — Adjustable iPad Arm
$127.26 ex GST
($139.99 inc GST)
An adjustable arm that holds an iPad wherever you need it — over a desk, beside a monitor, or angled down at a workbench. The arm is the point: a normal stand puts a tablet in one position, this puts it anywhere.
What it does:
Weighted base with an adjustable arm
Holds an iPad at almost any height and angle
Black or white
Where it earns its place in a school:
As a visualiser — angle an iPad down over a desk to show worked examples on the board
Recording demonstrations — science, art, food technology and maker work filmed from overhead
Stop-motion animation — a stable overhead position is exactly what the task needs
Accessibility — positioning a screen for a student who can't hold a device
Cheaper than a dedicated document camera if you already have iPads, and does more with them. Purchase orders accepted on school accounts.
