My Project

I teach curious, thoughtful students who love asking big questions about the past and making connections to the world they live in today. Whether they’re analyzing primary sources, debating historical decisions, or working through project-based learning activities, my students thrive when lessons are interactive and visual. They are eager to engage—but they need tools that help them clearly see and understand complex historical content.

A desktop monitor will allow our class to better examine maps, political cartoons, primary documents, timelines, and student work in real time.

Being able to display materials clearly helps students slow down, notice details, and think critically together. It also supports collaboration during discussions, modeling, and peer feedback, making learning more accessible for all students—especially those who benefit from visual learning.

This resource will help turn historical analysis into a shared experience, where students can see the past, question it, and learn from it together. By supporting this project, you’re helping create a classroom environment where every student has a clearer view of history and a stronger voice in their learning.
