At my school, more often than not, we are behind the rest of the school district in the technology department. This would help bring my class into the 21st century by allowing me to present online simulations in easy-to-see bright high definition. We currently use dim and old projectors that project a very small image at a lower than ideal height. Most of the kids cannot see the projection. Our projectors sit on clunky carts in the middle of the classroom, taking away valuable space in a year where we have more students than ever. The projector cart itself blocks the view of some students in the front row. In content standard HS-ESS2-5, I expect the students to plan and construct an investigation of the properties of water and its effects on Earth materials and surface processes . This is a very complicated topic in which we focus on empowering students to design their own experiments and then infer how their small scale models would impact the Earth on a large scale. It is most definitely a topic where we use a lot of online simulations. Having a large, clear monitor at the front of the class would be extremely helpful. Currently, many of my students struggle to see the content projected onto the tiny screen. All of this becomes even more important for the students at home doing distance learning because of the pandemic. Filming myself teaching with the projection screen in the background does not get the job done. A large HD monitor would show up much more clear for these students. As it is, the students at home are missing information that would help them understand the objectives.
