With One Easel We Can...Increase Student Engagement During Distance Learning!

Help me give my students the gift of learning virtually. The easel will help me facilitate instructions during our video lessons. The TeachersPayTeachers gift card will help me purchase materials that will increase student engagement during distance learning.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Pless's classroom raised $506

My Students

I teach an awesome group of students who are creative, outgoing, and love engaging lessons. My students enjoy using technology in the classroom to create and submit assignments. Many students in my class lack the resources needed to engage in 21st-century classroom learning. Each day they enter my classroom ready to learn and grow not only academically, but technologically as well! I love that they are enthusiastic and eager to perform new and challenging tasks. My students inspire me daily to continue planning a high-interest, engaging lesson that includes technology.

My Project

Distance Learning is not the ideal way of beginning a new school year. I found that using the whiteboard in our video conferencing platform wasn't the easiest due to the angle that I had to write. With this easel, I will be able to easily instruct my students during our lessons.

Along with the easel, the TeachersPayTeachers gift card will help increase student engagement.

With the gift card, I will be able to purchase instructional materials for my students to help supplement the materials that I already have for them.
