My Students

I'm hoping to inspire my students with technology and connect it to mathematics. We'll take on blogging, Twitter, video editing, 3D printing, Skype, and much, much more! My fourth grade students come from a variety of backgrounds. Fifty percent of my students live in high poverty areas and about 15 percent of them are English Language Learners from South Africa, Vietnam, Nigeria, Bhutan, and other countries.

Our school is a K-5 Vermont school that loves embracing STEM activities.

We put tools into the hands of students to keep them energized. My students are an energetic and inspired group of learners who love utilizing technology.

My Project

I have currently been using a SMARTboard in my classroom for the last 10 years. Recently the board has started to fail. The light will shut off randomly and it often starts flickering mid-lesson. It's hard to watch a flickering screen and students often complain about the flickering light.

Funding for an interactive projector would make lessons more engaging and exciting for students.

I've already rewritten most of my curriculum to be interactive and having students come up and use the manipulative for math in front of everyone leads to more students understanding their thinking and engaging in math. Students love to come up and write on my board and teach their friends the math lesson. During literacy students can actually swipe the book pages on my board and it's amazing!
