Virtual Students Getting the Information they need!
Help me give my students a way to receive instruction via a virtual platform. I currently use a chromebook to present and it does not have the capacity to present quickly nor clearly.
I have 20 smart, excited and busy kindergartners. My students are eager to please and eager to learn. Our school strives to reach the needs of each individual child. Every child has capabilities, talents, and strengths; sometimes, all it takes is exposure, motivation, and access to resources. The students in my class strive to be their best not only when it comes to academics but also when it comes to being kind, caring, responsible, and respectful learners. Teachers are faced with so many challenges today.
I am teaching virtually and having a computer to present would help my students be able to see the lessons that I am streaming.
Currently, with the district-issued device, there is lagging and students have to turn off their cameras when we are presenting, to at least see the lesson in a slow speed. I would love to be able to have the students cameras on and see their excitement during lessons. The upload speeds from the Chromebook make this a challenge. DonorsChoose.org is a great organization that provides our classrooms with the materials we need to help our students become successful. Without donors like you, it wouldn't be possible.
My Project
Having a computer to present to my students virtually will allow them to be able to view the lessons I stream in a speed that doesn't lag, nor force my students to turn off their cameras. Some times, having them turn off their cameras allows the lesson to present a tad faster. My students will benefit from direct instruction that is clear and doesn't cause them to wait so long to view the lessons.
My current district issued device has slow upload speeds.
I would love to be able to have my students cameras visible while they are learning, so that I can see their excitement or see if they need help with something. It will help to keep their attention when they are not waiting for the teacher's device to load!
