I love where I teach - the community, the families, the students - all of it! My students are SO hard working and are passionate in their pursuit to obtain more knowledge. As the decision was made to continue learning remotely, I really need a better way to present information to them as this is what the deserve! My diverse group of learners give their best and encourage me to be better, so this technology would really help all of us!
My Project
Second graders must be able to see exactly what is being used by the teacher in real time to learn to the best of their abilities. Daily via remote instruction it is essential for my students to be able to clearly see the book during a read aloud, watch step by step instructions during the modeling part of a minilesson, follow along to move math manipulatives in real time to solve math problems together, etc! So far this year I have tried many DIY document cameras yet none have been successful.
By donating to my classroom project, you will not only help to improve and increase student engagement, you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement!
Even though they have been flexible and understanding, our lack of top notch technology appropriate for virtual learning is causing them to miss important instruction. By having an Apple iPad and Pencil to use while teaching remotely (and after), students will be able to simply focus on the academic material at hand rather than whether they can access the materials they require to learn.
*I received a few gift cards from my last Donors Choose project which I plan to use towards this one too! You are all TOO generous!
