When it comes to their education, students should receive equal opportunities. Students all over are benefiting from the use of technology in the classroom. My students do not have access to a projector or document camera, tools that will help them make even greater strides in their education.
My classroom houses twenty determined, energetic, perseverent students.
They have vibrant personalities and the most positive attitudes. Day after day, they arrive eager to learn, despite the fact that many face challenges learning on a daily basis. The lack of technology is the classroom is just one of these challenges and it can easily be eliminated!
My Project
Students will be able to use these materials to enhance their learning in a variety of ways. A document camera will allow students to view an exact replica of the assignment they are going to complete. I can model a think aloud and provide visuals to students. I can project video clips by connecting my laptop to the projector. Students can display their own work, leading to academic conversations and analysis of their peers' work. A projector and document camera open up the doors for students who learn in different ways, particularly the visual learners in my classroom.
All students are not yet afforded the same opportunities, but this project is one step towards changing that.
I envision successful futures for each and every one of my students. I strive to help them envision successful futures for themselves. In order for students to believe in their futures, they need to experience success in the classroom on a daily basis. These tools would dramatically help my students access material, feel confident, and continue to dream about their bright futures!
