I am a third grade teacher at Charles S. Deneen Elementary located on the South Side of Chicago, Illinois. Currently, I teach all subjects to wonderful students from lower socioeconomic status. Although these students do not come from privileged background, they have an enthusiastic interest in technology. I believe that all students should have the opportunity to experience the type of activities that involve multimedia. Historically, the group of students that I teach has backgrounds of those minorities underrepresented in technological fields. At this time I feel that having a multimedia projector in my classroom will benefit the students that are visual learners. A multimedia projector will allow students to view the world in many aspects. For example, they will be able to see presentations on current issues in the social sciences, mathematics, and language arts. As well, we can access learning tools from the Internet. In addition, the projector will increase the students' critical thinking skills. With the assistance of this projector, we will decrease the digital divide.
