Please help me give my students a more mobile classroom. The Wacom tablet will allow me to walk around the school, giving students individual attention while continuing the whole class on the board.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
I have an energetic bunch of statistically underserved kids on the historic west side of Las Vegas. My students are 8th graders aged 12 to 15 enrolled in pre-algebra. Like all students, they want to move around discussing their work (among other things) and prefer immediate feedback. They all want to be explained individually when they don't understand a concept.
The Wacom tablet will allow me not to be tied to the whiteboard during instruction.
I can do examples from all over the room. Some students work better when the teachers are near. Soon, I'll be helping Johnny in one corner while still solving for x for the other 30 students in my slide show.
The abundance of dry-erase markers is to supplement my class set of student boards. Student uses whiteboards to show their predictions, express their confusion, and celebrate their successes. At a glance, I can evaluate student understanding and decide if it is time to move forward or reteach.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
