My Project

Over the past two years, our students were forced into the world of using technology in order to thrive in education. Teachers as well as students had to adapt to learning using more technology than expected, and we tried our best to incorporate technology tips and tricks daily. This forced us out of our comfort levels, but also allowing us to try new resources and tools when teaching or presenting. Funding my project will allow me to upgrade my current resources and continue to provide opportunities for students to use technology resources that help to enhance their projects and presentations.

Please help me fund my project to help my students "Thrive in Technology!"
Teachers Pay Teachers provides amazing resources that will allow me to continue to provide digital learning to my students. Resources from TPT will allow me to really focus on what I need/want to teach my students rather spending time recreating the wheel. Many resources were created with digital access or teaching in mind for distance learners.
Instead of live presentations in front of their peers, more students can turn to pre-recording their lessons using the Digital Cameras. It support students with anxiety, ESL, SPED and allows them to work at their pace to be more prepared with their presentation. Digital Cameras will also allow students to provide evidence of their learning that can be proudly shared with peers, teachers and parents.
Personal Headsets with microphones will allow students the opportunity to edit their recordings or add recordings to their presentations independently. This will help them build their self-esteem and allow them to make mistakes without feeling judged by their peers.
