Did Someone Say Learning Tech Enhances Student Engagement?

Help me give my students innovative/fun Tech gadgets for Earth Day Presentations.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Odums's classroom raised $499

This project is fully funded

My Project

Many schools of a minority population do not have funds to provide students with innovative technology that will allow them to compete intellectually with privileged students. In this case, minority students are behind when having technology accessories as a resource.

Being funded with new technology gadgets will digitally enhance student engagement to prepare for upcoming Earth Day presentations, and allow more creativity for their public speaking research projects.

Having innovative accessories will allow students to continue to learn with technology while accessing educational material in new ways. For example, having multiple types of chargers in the classroom will allow students to charge devices in a faster way so that they may use devices for the presentations without running out of battery.

The students have been working hard and this project and would be honored to have your support in preparing for this presentation after doing their STEM research about the planet. Students can use the cool tripods to complete presentations. Using the wireless mic will allow them to practice projecting their voices during presentations without having to over-extend their voices. This will also support them with public speaking skills. The speaking would even allow students to play sound presenting research projects to engage their peers.
