This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
I would like a projector for a computer so I can have my students create powerpoint presentations based on research they perform and be able to show these presentations to the class using a projector. I would also like to use this to integrate video into my classroom.
Channel 13 (NYC PBS station) has a great program called "Video on Demand" for NYC educators. Teachers can download videos to supplement the curriculum. One of the great things about video on demand is that you can download short segments of video. The videos are broken up into chapters (for example, "Columbus' early life" or "Columbus finally reaches the New World"). I have the ability to download the videos and burn them onto CD, but am unable to show them to the class without a projector.
