Help Make Art Steps More Visible

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Preston's classroom raised $274

My Students

Imagine being one of 30 students in a classroom ready to begin a new project. Now imagine trying to see what your teacher is demonstrating, but even with great eyesight it's difficult to see when you can't be up close. This one tool will change how we learn visually through an up close demonstration

Our students come from many different backgrounds and many different countries.

English is not a first language for many of our students so visual examples are extremely important. All of my grades from Pre-K to 8th grade love learning art and love creating many projects some of which require many steps.

My Project

My students need a tablet stand to help turn my iPad into a real time projector. With this tool 30 students all at once will be able to see up close details of activities! We will use this stand together with the projector and iPad I currently have to bring even more technology into our classroom. I'd love to integrate more projects that require many steps, and this tool would allow all my students from every seat to easily see me demonstrate many steps in real time.

Giving up is something we talk about with many different projects because students often feel challenged, and their initial idea is to just quit.

I want them to gain confidence from being able to easily follow step by step demonstrations and in the end create something amazing!
