My Project

The use of whiteboards is a daily activity in my classroom, especially in math. The whiteboards allow me to see exactly what they are doing, as well as provide an easy place for them to show and share their work. What becomes a problem is the fact that the markers never seem to last, erasers seem to disappear, and the whiteboards become scratched and cracked from frequent use. Dry erase marker dry out fast and I replace 7-10 markers daily. I have to keep a collection of marker caps, just in case one is stepped on or lost. When a marker issue arises, it causes a disruption to the lesson to replace it. Even though they are great about asking for a new one, it is distracting for many of my students who have focusing issues and they miss important instruction from either myself or other students. By having LCD tablets, students will be able to avoid all of these problems and focus on the lesson.

By donating to our project, you will help to improve and increase student attention and focus which will help to increase their academic achievement.

Students will be able to simply focus on the academic material at hand. Plus in this booming technology world, it is important that students have time away from a computer screen and participate in hand on activities. These tablets are the best way to have a little of each.
