I saw a news piece on teachers engaging students via video that caused me to remember just where I had seen something similar some time ago. The theme of the news story was teachers finding ways to get away from using video to stare at their students for long periods of time while teaching remotely. The story focused a technology that would follow the teacher around her/his classroom during a presentation so that the experience was more natural.
I searched my blog and what I remembered was a product from 2012 that we purchased. The product was called the Swivl and it held a phone or iPad and it would follow a target as the target moved. At this time, we described it as a great way for preservice teachers to record themselves for later analysis. The product and similar products can still be found on Amazon.
Running a Zoom or equivalent feed from a similar device seems like a good idea.
