My Students

My middle school creative writing classes have been affected by the coronavirus pandemic in that EVERYTHING we do now is online: teaching, sending and receiving student assignments, updating grades, parent and student communications, etc. I need these requested technology resources in order be a better, more effective online teacher for my students.

My Project

These specific technology materials will help my students as I teach from home in that my crowded home environment requires my working area to be as mobile as possible so I can effectively deliver my weekly online instruction to students. The laptop notebook stand and laptop carrying case will allow me to provide online instruction from any location; the headset with mic will allow me to be a more effective speaker/listener during student weekly online class meetings. All of these technology additions will improve the quality of my online instruction and ultimately the quality of the students' learning.
