The use of an LCD projector is almost a daily activity in my classroom, especially in math. Using the workshop model in math, students come to the rug with whiteboards for guided practice and to record modeled strategies. The LCD projector will allow me to use whiteboards to see exactly what they are doing as well as provide an easy place for them to show and share their work. What becomes a problem is a fact that the markers never seem to last, erasers seem to disappear, and the whiteboards slowly become stained from frequent use. When something goes awry, students know that they must leave the rug quietly to get a new marker, new eraser, or, as a last choice, pencil, and paper. Even though they are great about doing this, it is distracting for many of my students who have focusing issues, and they miss important instruction from either me or other students. By having LCD tablets, students will be able to avoid all of these problems and focus on increasing their learning! By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, but you will also ultimately help to increase their academic achievement. Students will be able to simply focus on the academic material at hand and not be concerned about whether their materials are going to work or not. In this technology literate world, any interaction with updated technology will increase their literacy as well as their desire to learn and use the new technology!
