These paddles will have an instant impact on my classroom! Because my students are so competitive, I want to play to this strength by giving them the opportunity to post the previous nights answers on the boards to be called upon for correct responses. This is SO MUCH more effective than simply showing the answers on the TV screen or calling on one student at a time. As an educator, I will be able to use these boards throughout to lesson as a powerful formative assessment tool. I can envision my students working quickly to get the right answer on the board, and being motivated and encouraged to not give up. I am very excited at the idea of planning my lessons knowing I will have these boards. This means a lot to me...and I sincerely appreciate any donation you are able to make.
