My students, being English Language Learners, are already facing challenges by not being able to communicate with their peers and teachers. Add to that social distancing, where we have to speak through a mask, makes it that much more difficult. In addition, they have to look at the teacher’s colored pages from a distance and black and white images in front of them, while attempting to figure out what’s on the page, how to pronounce it and make connections to prior knowledge, which may or may not exist. All of this we were dealing with as best we could. Now, we’ve moved to remote learning. This gives us the benefit of hearing each other a bit more clearly but not having the images in color in front of them at any given time, is a detriment when learning the language. The scanner I have selected will give kids the opportunity to see the images in COLOR on their screens and allow me to upload the images to Seesaw, Google Slides, Nearpod, and many other platforms for students to practice their speaking, reading, and writing skills. It will better aid them in identifying terms, vocabulary, and stories in order to make more meaningful connections. These images, once we are in the classroom, will save me hours of printing. As a traveling teacher, it would allow me to print/scan as much as I need and send packets home for them to practice, while making future ink purchases much more affordable. In addition, I will be able to use this scanner/printer for all of my World Language Spanish classes which covers all students in grades K-3, who are all also learning a new language.
