Project & Protect: Tech Tools for a Smooth-Running Classroom

My Project

In a modern classroom, technology is a vital part of how we teach and how students learn. However, it's often the simple, behind-the-scenes tools like a document camera, a reliable dongle, and a multi-port power strip that make the biggest difference in how smoothly a classroom runs.

A document camera will allow me to project books, student work, and real-time demonstrations for the whole class to see which is especially helpful for visual learners and when modeling assignments.

A dongle is essential for connecting devices to the projector, which is a daily part of our instruction. The Power Strip Tower, with 20 AC outlets and 6 USB ports, will ensure all our tech stays charged, organized, and safe from cord clutter.

These tools will:

Enhance visual learning and student engagement

Improve the flow and clarity of instruction

Help organize tech stations for students

Prevent delays and distractions caused by dead batteries or connection issues

Though small, these tools are powerful in creating a more effective, connected, and calm classroom. Your support will help keep our learning flowing without interruption.
