My Students

My students are AMAZING! They are part of a STEAM magnet program. "The STEAM education is an approach to teaching and learning that integrates the content skills of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Along with content knowledge, a strong STEAM program establishes student behaviors, which include engagement in inquiry, logical reasoning, collaboration, and investigation. The goal of STEAM education is to prepare students for post-secondary study and the 21st century workforce."

My students love learning and questioning what they learn to gain a deeper understanding.

They love to have a voice in the depth of knowledge they learn. Even with the magnet program at our school we still need various resources to reach our goals.

My Project

Students can learn from each other. In our class students have the opportunity to show others what they have learned and to explain their thinking in their interactive notebooks. With this document camera students will be not only be able to teach each other what they have learned they will also be able to show their learning. Research shows that the person doing the talking is the one doing the learning. Our class goal is to have students "do" a minimum of 80% of the talking each class.

The document camera will allow the student to display their interactive journals to the entire class at one time while explaining their thinking.

In a classroom it is difficult for a student to show others their learning/thinking just by simply holding up their interactive notebooks. This is an invaluable part of the learning process for students. By donating to our project you will be helping our class gain better understand of students thinking and learning.
