Biology Lessons with Better Audio and Video

Help me give my students better instruction by allowing me to share better lessons through a bigger monitor during video lectures and the headphones will allow me to record video lessons.

My Students

My high school students are enthusiastic, dedicated, hardworking and above all, very curious learners of science. They strive to achieve their highest potential and become citizens with strong science-based skills—not only in specific content areas but also with skills such as critical thinking and inquiry-based problem-solving.

My goal as a biology teacher is to help my students attain their academic goals, their science-based skills, be good citizens, and inspire them to be lifelong learners.

Our last day at school together was March 13th, 2020. I have been teaching them online with a variety of resources to help increase their success in our newly established distance remote learning platform. This presents a challenge, as my students and I do not have access to our classroom equipment, materials, and supplies in our homes.

My Project

The materials for this project will help me teach my students from home. My students enjoy my interactive lectures in Biology at school. They want me to continue teaching with my lectures, whether it is live or recorded.

The monitor will serve as a second screen for me and my students, just like the projector screen I use at school for instruction.

The headphones will generate clearer audio with noise filtering for better live and recorded lessons.

Technology will help me deliver the lessons to my students effectively and successfully from home.
