All students need to be able to see the materials that will help them learn. I teach first grade at a school that is seventy percent military.

All students should be able to see the teaching materials without having to strain. Without a document projector many students in the back of the room have to strain to see items written on the board or do not have a clear view of items that cannot be written on the board, such as a replica of the statue of liberty.

A document projector allows all students to see the math page we are correcting, a coin from a foreign country, an experiment in progress, and many other types of text or teaching materials.

You will make it possible for all students to see the materials that will support their learning and reduce the number of copies I make.
