My Project
In a classroom where the smartboard is frequently used, overhead lights often need to be dimmed or turned off to improve visibility on the screen. This creates a darker environment that can make it difficult for students to see their work or for the teacher to manage materials effectively. Desk lamps are essential in this setting to provide targeted ambient lighting, allowing students to comfortably read, write, and stay focused without straining their eyes. For the teacher, desk lamps help maintain visibility at workstations, improve classroom management, and create a more welcoming, balanced atmosphere conducive to learning.
