The students in my classes are from really tough neighborhoods, that don't offer them many opportunities. They are sold many dreams in the media and in classrooms, and as teachers, we are not always given the tools that could actually impact their lives for the better in real time. I love when they see the possibilities and get that "Ah Hah" moment, where everything clicks and they run with it. Being able touch, see, and interact with the concepts they are being taught, helps bridge the gap between classroom knowledge and real world application. This project will greatly impact the students involved by offering them the best teaching experience during rough pandemic times.
My Project
Working at home during remote teaching can be sometimes difficult for the students in my class to connect with me. Many times the students sit and wait as I struggle to manage multiple tabs, pages, and they begin to disconnect and drift from the assignment. This is why we are asking for help in purchasing a portable laptop monitor. Having This will definitely help the students during intermittent remote learning, because they can show me their work on one screen and talk to me on another. Without updated technology, Mobile Pixels Dual Laptop Monitor, Plug and Play Laptop Screen Extender, my students can not efficiently get the education that they well deserve. A laptop screen extender will allow the students to overcome the technology hurdles they are already facing at home, without the aid of smartboards and other academic teaching tools that they have during in person instruction. This laptop extender would help them present their assignments with ease so they are more confident. Having a full screen allows the student to fully show their work while also allowing the other students a stage to critique and ask questions. It opens up their possibilities to explore an assignment in more detail without communication difficulties when their work is on clear display without question.
