Our middle school is a wonderful school and I feel blessed to be teaching at it. My students come from all over a large suburban district and reflect the racial, ethnic, and socio-economic diversity of this district that spans 8 cities/towns.
Students come from across our district for a safe and effective education.
They show up most days (over Zoom now) ready to learn and engage in activities. It can be tough at times because many of our students are working against the poverty that plagues some areas within our district. Our students face this daily and still show up ready to learn and thrive.
My Project
Teaching remotely has provided teachers with a whole new set of challenges. What is the best way to present material to our students that makes it fun and interesting when we are not together? Technology is key to all of our lessons now and a WACOM tablet is a great way to help model mathematical concepts and student thinking in our math classrooms.
With a Wacom tablet, all teachers in our math department will be able model mathematical concepts and student thinking easily to a virtual whiteboard over Zoom.
Wacom tablets have been deemed a "lifesaver" in the era of distance teaching/learning. They will continue to benefit our students once we return to the classroom by allowing us to model the same reasoning to our SmartTVs. Help give our students the opportunity to excel despite our distance learning platform.
