Empowering Young Minds: Enhancing Learning With Tech Tools

Help me give my students the best instruction using a document camera, a laptop stand and a clicker for easy slides presentations.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Montalbano's classroom raised $188

This project is fully funded

My Project

In a classroom of 31 fourth graders, a document camera, computer stand, and slide clicker remote can significantly enhance engagement and learning. The document camera allows for real-time display of student work and instructional materials, making lessons more interactive and accessible. A computer stand ensures that technology is at an appropriate height for both teacher and students, promoting better visibility and comfort during lessons. Meanwhile, a slide clicker remote enables smooth transitions between slides, allowing the teacher to move freely around the classroom, facilitating more dynamic interactions with students. Together, these tools foster a more interactive, organized, and student-centered learning environment.
