My Students
I am currently teaching 1st grade students that are completely remote. I am instructing the children in reading, writing, phonics, math, social studies, science and art. I am trying many different ways to best meet the needs of all my students. I am finding that my most difficult challenge is modeling a concept through the computer camera. Holding-up a whiteboard or piece of paper is awkward and ineffective. A document camera that connects to my computer would allow me to best share my instructional methods with my students at home.
My Project
I am currently teaching 30 1st grade students that are learning at home completely remote. This is a very challenging way for 5 and 6 year old children to learn in all academic areas. I am trying to reach my students using many different methods. I know that they are having difficulty staying engaged while I am fumbling with a whiteboard or paper. A document camera will allow them to see me writing and modeling in real time. For example: solving a math word problem using math manipulatives, chart or diagram. I also requested a gift card for Teachers Pay Teachers to purchase distance learning lessons to enhance my teaching. Children learn in different ways, this would give me more tools to help guide them through remote instruction.
