Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

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.

How do you learn best? Do you listen, then understand or do you need to see something to understand how it works? During my time as a teacher, I've come to realize that many of my students are visual learners, which means they often think in pictures. This type of learner remembers what s/he sees, rather than what s/he reads. Therefore, I need to differentiate my lessons so that I can provide instructions both verbally and visually. Hence, I'm in need of a document camera. Why a document camera and not an overhead project? Here's why: -Overhead transparancies are expensive and take time to create. A document camera allows you to put the item you wish to project underneath the camera lens so that you can reveal the document immediately. -Overhead transparancies require messy markers. With a document camera, you can use any type of writing implement since you're writing on paper. -Overhead projectors only show off transparent objects. A document camera can project any solid figure on to a screen. A document camera will help my students gain an understanding of how to use math materials, since they'll be able to develop a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts and will be able to see ALL of the demonstrations I perform on the overhead screen regardless of where they sit in the classroom. Additionally, I'll be able to post my students' writing immediately so as to use it as a demonstration text during Writing Workshops. Usually I have to read what a child wrote if I want to show it off... now I will be able to literally show it off since the document camera allows you to instantly project anything on to a screen. Please help me to enrich my mathematics and writing workshops by helping to bring a document camera into my classroom. Thank you, in advance, for your kindness.
