I need a bigger monitor to create and execute engaging lesson plans while still being able to interact with my students!

My Students
My students are resilient, intelligent, and awe-inspiring. They make me want to be a better educator every day of this crazy virtual learning life. My "Zoom room" is a safe, supportive, and educational environment that pushes students to be the very best version of themselves.
My Project
With a new middle school curriculum, it's safe to say my colleagues and I have been working around the clock. We're creating new PowerPoints, working out any lesson kinks, and finding the perfect way to present new material, to name a few. It's taxing, both psychologically and physically.
Due to this, I've been trying to make my virtual teaching desk space as ergonomically "sound" as possible.
Between setting posture reminders and a family friend's antique wireless mouse donation, I've been getting by. My small monitor, however, is making the biggest impact on both my eyes and my planning threshold.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
