My Project
As a Mathematics teacher, it isn't easy to teach without showing the work step by step. Having a touchscreen Laptop will be a game-changer because it will help me share the touchscreen whiteboard and annotate the presentations, making my lessons colorful, interactive, and effective.
A touchscreen laptop can transform the teaching and learning experience into something lively, colorful, and exciting.
I am proud to say that I am one of the teachers featured on CBS2 news and recognized by the school district and LA Rams. Since I have virtual AP Calculus Exam Prep sessions, I need a laptop with touch screen abilities to show the work step by step and explain it in detail. I believe that these devices will enable me to teach my class as I teach them in my wonderful world of learning (that is what everyone calls my classroom because my students learn every single day). I am serving in a public school where 100% of students qualify for free lunch, and I am very proud to say that I have genuinely excellent students who love to learn and are ready to become the first person to go to college. I firmly believe that having a good laptop will make my math lessons lively, colorful, and helpful, as in the past.
