This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
My students walk into our classroom every day from all walks of life, ready to learn and excited for what is in store for them that day. My students know that I believe in them and can do anything they set their minds to.
My Project
The use of whiteboards is almost a daily activity in my classroom. The whiteboards allow me to see exactly what they are doing and provide an easy place for them to show and share their work. What becomes the problem is that the markers never seem to last, erasers seem to disappear, and the whiteboards slowly become stained from frequent use. When something goes awry, students know that they must leave the rug quietly to get a new marker, new eraser, or the last choice, pencil, and paper. Even though they are great about doing this, it is distracting for many of my students who have focusing issues, and they miss essential instruction from either myself or other students. By having an Apple Pencil, students will avoid all of these problems and focus on increasing their learning!
By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, but you will also ultimately help to increase their academic achievement.
Students will simply focus on the academic material at hand and not whether their materials will work or not. Plus, in this technology literate world, any interaction with updated technology will increase their literacy and desire to learn and use the new technology!
