My Project

I want my students to challenge one another, but without using technology. They love to compete in learning games on their Chromebooks, but I would like them to learn the game of chess.

These board games will allow us to learn the game together as a class, and to allow them to play against one another.

These games will be used during indoor recess, but also during enrichment time once a week. During this time, students will learn and practice the game of chess.

The remote presenter will allow me to share media while also being on the rug with my students, rather than behind my desk.
