I’m asking for a wireless projector to keep my students safe and engaged in learning. The labyrinth of cords and touchy connections of our current projector are a hazard and distraction for my students. Every move brings the cry “be careful of the cords”! A tiny bump makes the projector quit. And “Poof!” – the flow of instruction is broken and the excitement for a lesson vanishes. It’s documented that higher levels of kindergarten engagement are associated with greater success in school. Using a wireless projector would sustain focus, increase engagement and allow my class to reach their full distinctive potential. What difference a wireless projector would make! Holy cow! No cords to trip over or go around! No touchy connections. Frustration free lessons! Every student, maybe a future Nobelist, safe and absorbed in learning.
