Let's Get Visual...Visual!

My students need an Epson projector, a camera, and other visual aids to increase their ability to recall and engage with discussed material in physical science.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

Do you remember how you felt when you took a picture/video or drew a diagram to remember details for an activity you completed days before? My students have not experienced this joy of recalling and replaying specific details via images; they also do not have access to any technology in classroom.

My students are ninth graders, predominantly African-American, and about 95% of them receive free or reduced lunch.

They attend a high school with chalk boards and little to no additional technology. Textbooks are confined to the classroom and teachers are financially responsible for printing fees. The idea of labs and field trips are foreign and if the former occurs it is constricted to the teacher performing demonstrations or the teacher assuming financial responsibility for the supplies. My students are very inquisitive and often ask me "can you show us how that works?" or "can we do the lab again so I can remember exactly what happened?". There questions are great, but when the safety and recall of an experiment are not accessible I have difficulty satiating their curiosity.

My Project

With visual aids available, my students will be able to more efficiently process labs and content knowledge. They would be able to perform more varied and in depth experiments and activities especially those that are more costly or take a long time to conduct. I would be able to use the projector and camera to play back footage or freeze frame images/steps in a demonstration so that my students can learn to identify specific details like delicate changes due to a reaction. Additionally, students will be able to use dry erase markers to draw on the white boards around the classroom and learn to detail, present, and defend their answers or images. Lastly, my students will learn to be competitive in upper-level and college science courses because they will have worked with technology integrated in their learning experience.

My students should not be subjugated to restricted opportunities due to their socioeconomic status, race, or other demographic markers.

These gifts will encourage my students to be stronger advocates in their education; they will have higher expectations for the quality and variety of materials in their classes. In addition, this project will assist me in teaching to the learning skills of all of my students so that they have equal access to content mastery.
