It has been my wish for years that my non-working Promethean Board would be replaced. My Promethean Board has not been working for at least six years. When it did work, interactive lessons would be planned where students would look forward to engage in online activities, where a lot of learning was taken place at the same time. These online activities would supplement the content that was taught during whole group/small group lessons. However, it has been unfortunate to my watch my at-risk students suffer from having access to resources that their peers at affluent schools within the district have access to. I want my students to have access to and become familiar with technology so they can be better prepared to compete with their peers around the world. The Wi-Fi system is weak at our school which also becomes a hinderance to teaching. I hope that my project is selected, because it would be a great benefit to my students. I am also requesting a printer because often times the copier at our school does not work.
