Beyond the Textbook: Wireless Vision for Business Students
Help me give my students the opportunity to learn with the Aver wireless document camera. This camera will transform learning. I'll model and analyze complex business/accounting concepts using real-world documents in real time, with students learning alongside me.

My Project
A wireless document camera is the vital upgrade for my high school business classroom. While I currently use a wired camera, its limitations hinder the dynamic learning my students deserve. With your support, a wireless camera that has four megapixels will transform the lessons by providing a crystal-clear image that eliminates squinting and guesswork. Imagine students effortlessly following real-time modeling of intricate accounting problems, projected vividly onto all 30 student computers. The wireless freedom means I can move fluidly around the room, engaging with every student directly while still demonstrating concepts with unparalleled clarity from anywhere. This isn't just a replacement; it's a leap forward in how our future business leaders learn and master essential skills.
By donating to this project, you will be giving the students the opportunity to visually dissect intricate business processes, analyze real-world financial documents, and participate in dynamic, interactive problem-solving sessions which are fundamental to developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
My business and accounting students are truly special. They're not here just to get a credit; they are proactive, engaged learners who genuinely want to understand how the business world works. What makes their learning experience unique is that I'm a former business owner. This means I don't just teach from a textbook. I share real-world scenarios, bringing business plans, balance sheets, marketing plan and entrepreneurial challenges to life with stories and examples from my own experience. The hands-on approach truly resonates with them.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
