My Project
I am requesting an Epson Eco-Tank Color printer and copier from Best Buy. Currently, we only have a school-provided printer that does not print in color or make copies. Due to the learning differences and needs in my small special education classroom, I need to print materials often. Putting in a request for copies takes time and even longer for color copies.
My students are always eager to learn and try new things.
We do many hands-on projects that are engaging, develop critical thinking, and are FUN! With the color printer, we will be able to print without limitations. Additionally, the Epson-eco tank uses refillable ink as opposed to ink cartridges. This ink lasts much longer than older cartridges. We will be able to refill the ink tank as needed.
