A large monitor for students to see in the classroom will greatly increase student participation and growth. Much of the learning in my class uses digital media. 1 - Students will project their work via iPad for others to understand their thinking. For example, when students are working problems out, they can beam their work in live time for collaboration. 2 - The TV monitor has speakers built in so that students can hear media! 3 - TVs are better than projectors! Projectors use loud fans that make it hard for students to hear over. They emit a lot heat. They also use way more electricity.
