Accommodating Different Learners With Gel Boards!

Help me give my students gel boards to be used in the classroom. Student engagement is important in a classroom and can help students with penmanship, spelling, and writing math problems in a way that accommodates different learners.

My Project

In the classroom, lectures and pencil and paper can be boring. It is useful to use a variety of different strategies to engage the students. These gel boards can help with penmanship, spelling, and writing math problems in a way that can engage students and make it fun. I would like to boost student engagement by providing them with an alternative to the pencil and paper that is common to them. These can provide motivation to the students and make learning fun and exciting! This is a great way to stimulate our students into involvement in the classroom!
