Help me give my students a projector. I want to be able to project my laptop screen to a place in the room where everyone can see the instruction without having to go over to the students.

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
I am a 25-year special education teacher who is now in a resource program. The problem is the new COVID-19 way of teaching is leaving my students short-changed on one-to-one instruction (due to distancing rules).
My students are general education students with an I.E.P (Individualized education program).
I assist them in helping them understand their classwork and to stay afloat in the general education population with learning disabilities. COVID-19 has hurt my population the most being they need to have one to one instruction to best understand the material. I now have the challenge of trying to do this with the students and I six-foot distanced.
I figured out what I need to get the students to have the same level of education without sacrificing the safety of distancing. With the proper technology, I can deliver the top-notch instruction I'm used to.
My Project
The biggest challenge I have is being able to deliver personalized instruction without having to break the distancing protocol. Being able to project my whiteboard from my desk will be a huge step in closing the gap in what my students need this year and what I can give them.
I would like to have a screen that can come down in front of the blackboard with a remote (to avoid invading 6ft personal space).
The projector would be effective in projecting my laptop to the screen allowing me to teach from a distance.
If you can help, my students and I would truly appreciate it!
