My Project
Hello everyone! The materials on the list that I have made are things that my class could desperately use! In my class, I use a program that is plays videos and the students need the headphones so that they can hear the videos so they are not all playing out loud at once! With the headphones they will be able to listen and actually pay attention to the video to answer the questions.
The tools I need for my classroom would help my students both academically and help with students that have accommodations.
The iPad will also be used as an accommodation tool for student who have trouble writing and need to type instead. When the students are not using the iPad, it will be used to project the worksheets onto the board to go over worksheets together.
The last thing would be the privacy screens. We use tables in my classroom because of how small my classroom is. So with state testing coming up these would be very beneficial to my classroom. I hope you can contribute to my classroom to help my students!
