Help me give my students a short throw projector. This will allow the projector the be next to the whiteboard nestled against the wall.

My Project

Having a short throw projector will allow my students to have access to digital materials without the production of extension cords in the middle of our learning space to accommodate a projector on a cart.

Having easy access to a projector will allow me to show our digital math curriculum, extend story time through our district approved book apps, and incoorporate movement and music time.

The possibilities for how to engage students is endless with this digital projector!

I have a very diverse group of students with a large variety of needs. Our students are so fun loving, energetic, and love to learn. Incorporating this technology in our classroom will allow students of all ability levels to participate and learn to love school, which is our ultimate goal in pre-k!
