My students need to be engaged in learning activities. Utilization of the whiteboard would allow the student and teacher to view and write on displayed images.
Currently, the library does not have a whiteboard to assist in instruction. This limits the instructional strategies to simply viewing a displayed picture. The whiteboard would allow students to actively be engaged in the lesson by writing or drawing on the image.
I teach at a rural high school where the majority of the population has a low socioeconomic income.
Thus, my students have very little to no parental help on school assignments/homework. The whiteboard will allow hands-on,interactive engagement with all lessons being presented in my library, whether it be in a math or English class. With the use of the whiteboard, my goal for this project is to increase my students' knowledge, productivity, and test scores. This board would also allow diversity for me to reach out and connect with my students who need differentiated learning.
My Project
Should I receive this whiteboard, I plan to incorporate all subject areas in my school and allow the students and teachers to engage in the lesson presented. It will allow both the teacher and student a visual of their work where then corrections and/or suggestions can be made on the original document. The whiteboard will also encourage student participation in the classroom. It is a tool where the students are up at the board presenting their information to their peers thus increasing self pride, presentation skills, and student interaction.
The library will benefit utilizing the whiteboard.
It will be available for all teachers and students to use in the library which, my opinion, is the core to any learning facility. Working together to engage students and increase student productivity will raise student performance for success in all academics.
