With powerful technology resources available for classrooms, teachers use devices to seamlessly integrate productive lessons. I believe that with a set of class Boogie Boards in my classroom, my students could utilize this tool. We'd love to shout, "Hooray for Boogie Boards in our Classroom!"
The town where I teach is a close-knit community, and we have great students, teachers and parents!
Our Pre K-5th grade school is one of two feeder schools in the area. Our school has approximately 550 students. I teach twenty-one Kindergarten students. With the new Common Core implemented, our teachers and students are all trying our best to move forward and do what is best for our children. We are fortunate to have hardworking students who enjoy learning.
My Project
As an educator, I see how students enter school on a new level in terms of technology. They embrace it faster than ever before. A set of classroom Boogie Boards would be great for writing, drawing & other creative work. I could create activities meshed with reading, art, & math activities for this resource. We live in a world filled with technology unlike ever before. At times though, it is difficult for schools to receive additional funding for extra resources. According to the site: "The revolutionary Reflex LCD featured in the Boogie Board Original 8.5 eWriter retains an image indefinitely without power until you press the erase button to clear the screen. Great for children to practice writing and playing games..." I could place them in centers for writing practice, practicing ELA (alphabet) and math (number) practice too. The Boogie Board tablet's pressure-sensitive LCD writing surface creates lines of different thickness based on how hard you push, just like paper and pen!
Obviously, technology should be a component of every classroom today.
However, this is easier said than done. With classroom computers crashing, our class wish list includes a new computer! Your consideration in helping us would be appreciated!It is no secret that additional technology money is not always available for the extra technology accessories and tools. I am asking your help to bring a classroom set of 28 Boogie Boards to my classroom.
