I would like to untether from my desk and computer to more freely move around my classroom and interact with students as they work individually and in groups. By bringing my resources, grade book, and other tools around the room, I can better facilitate genuine learning activities. To this end, I am requesting a convertible laptop and remote presentation clicker. These tools allow me to conduct the kinds of productivity work that keeps me at my desk, while I walk among my students. The ergonomic mouse is also helpful if I need more interaction with my computer than the clicker allows.
