Projecting Our Ideas

My students need an overhead projector that can be moved around the room.

Troy, NY Grades PreK-2

I teach a 2nd grade class that includes special education, English Language Learning and general education students in a high needs public school.

Currently our classroom has a hand-me-down overhead projector from a teacher that retired. I would love to have students use it, but the glass is missing where one would write. My students are always eager to model what they have learned in front of the class, but we are lacking a fully functioning overhead projector.

My students need an overhead projector so they can get up and demonstrate their work to other students. An overhead would allow their work to be projected for everyone to see. It would facilitate students working together and learning from each other.

You can give my students the chance to interact with technology that they would not experience in their lives outside of school. With your help, the funding of this project will create a better and varied learning experience in our classroom.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
