My Students
I teach in a 6:1:1 1st/2nd grade classroom in a District 75 school in Staten Island, New York. District 75 provides highly specialized instructional support for students with significant challenges, such as Autism Spectrum Disorders, significant cognitive delays, emotional disturbances, sensory impairments, and/or multiple disabilities.
My students are fearless when it comes to technology and, as children of the 21st century, they need to be prepared to use a variety of tools to engage their world.
Many of my students come from diverse backgrounds and have many different educational needs. We are part of a larger school that celebrates inclusion.
My Project
Each child in my classroom is different, and it can be challenging to adjust my learning plan to fit every student. Fortunately, technology in education can help me modify my lessons. Displaying documents to my class is essential to engage them in remote learning.
The document camera will help my students become fully immersed in our virtual classroom and help encourage active participation.
Not only will it project HD images, but it is also a scanner and can be used for real-time video conferencing, meetings, and distance classes. I hope to make this new learning experience as productive and enjoyable as being together in person.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
