Engaging Desk Space

Help me give my students a well equipped desk space that allows for collaborative learning.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Leary's classroom raised $279

This project is fully funded

My Project

This project compliments another project I have requesting a desk. This project consists of some accessories that will allow for easy collaborative work with students. The monitor mount allows the monitor to be viewed at different angles making it easy to adjust so multiple viewers can see the monitor clearly. This will come in handy when meeting with a student or small group; it will better enable them to view what I am referencing and better engage. The desk light ensures that the space has proper lighting to support work. And the desk plug ensures any accessories or tools can be easily accessible on the desk. Such as the light, such as the computer, or if we are working on a project the glue gun, the laminator, etc. The file cabinet will hold a variety of resources from writing utensils to paper, to folders and more. Making it easy for students to access and helping provide an organized delivery.
