My students need an Apple TV to wirelessly connect our Apple devices to the SMART board
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Eckman's classroom raised $214
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
I teach three classes of 6th, 7th, and 8th graders Science and Social Studies. Our school is located in a low-income, high-crime area. I see that my students are faced with challenges both inside and outside the classroom. However, I do all that I can to provide an environment that is consistent, fun and engaging so they can get the most out of their days in my room.
My students are creative, clever, and very unique.
They like to move, and they love to receive lots of positive attention. Many of them are being raised in single-parent households and some in non-English-speaking families. They all receive a free breakfast and lunch based on their socioeconomic status.
My Project
My classroom is fortunate enough to have a SMART board in our classroom. I use this almost daily to show videos, project slideshows, and use the interactive feature to model assignments. This device is very helpful in my teaching however, we are bound by the wires.
I am hoping to use this board wirelessly!
Currently, I have a laptop hooked up to the board through the wires. With the addition of an Apple TV, I can connect an iPad to display the online intervention programs we use daily. I can connect the students iPads to the board and they can share their work with the class. I will also be able to circulate around the classroom where I can check for understanding and monitor student behavior.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
