My students are curious and eager to explore ideas and a wide variety of topics that impact their lives. They are anxious to discover the possibilities for their lives and enjoy the kind of learning where they interact with the lessons in a realistic manner. They engage in discussion, contemplation, research, and civic action in order to gain authentic connection to the world around them.
My students respond well to interaction with their teachers and love to ask questions.
Many are more comfortable doing so as I walk around the room, making it more personal.
My Project
I would like to untether from my desk and computer to more freely move around my classroom and interact with students as they work individually and in groups. By bringing my resources, grade book, and other tools around the room, I can better facilitate genuine learning activities.
To this end, I am requesting a convertible laptop and remote presentation clicker.
These tools allow me to conduct the kinds of productivity work that keeps me at my desk, while I walk among my students. The ergonomic mouse is also helpful if I need more interaction with my computer than the clicker allows.
