Help me give my students a Wacom One tablet to help us during our distance learning.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Lucas's classroom raised $495
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
Online teaching has proven to have its advantages and challenges. Although we are grateful for the advancements in technology, something I have learned from the past month is that online teaching is not equitable. We consistently meet for our Zoom classes and most of my students are in attendance. I have set up an easy to use platform in which students have access to several different free online resources. Our biggest issues are in students not being able to access the material because of the lack of reliable devices and insufficient Internet bandwidth, making it difficult for us to connect.
Despite current challenges, one thing that has not changed is my students' wonderful imagination for writing, their will to learn, and their optimism.
Throughout our distance learning, we have especially enjoyed writing. My students find great joy in creating writing pieces and then posting them in our classroom shared Padlet for others to view.
My Project
A Wacom One tablet would be a beneficial tool for online teaching during these unprecedented times. With this tablet, I can easily write on my online whiteboard and even freeze images of student work and annotate them live as I teach. In a regular classroom setting, I would use my document camera to display material and then annotate where I see fit.
The annotating helps myself and the students keep track and make sense of the material.
We are trying to make the best of our learning experience through this pandemic.
More than half of students from low‑income households
