My Students
Teaching children at home in one of the most expensive cities in the country brings many unusual challenges. We currently have a disproportionate district system of school funding that is generously being supplemented by corporate donations. My students are not among the most socially or economically disadvantaged in my city, so they are often ignored. It is my experience that kids can do anything if you give them the right tools. It is, therefore, my job to get them what they need to succeed.
My Project
Part of the problem with online teaching is that there is no real connection. When I was using the regular Zoom program, I was not able to write clearly using the digital white board. It was easier to write things on a pad and hold it up to the camera. However, lighting issues and printing quicky before the kids lost interest was a huge challenge. Since I can also use these at home, teaching remotely, these easels will allow me to bring the teaching connection closer. This will make also make teaching sequential lessons easier as the kids will follow as I write in bold print.
