I was able to immediately implement this into my instruction, using it as a lesson planning tool and presentation tool. I was able to move around the room with ease, presenting the material for the day, while also being able to work directly with students! My students were excited about the flexibility this provided. I also used the iPad for planning materials, creating graphics for concepts we were learning, and recording my professional learning in a more modern manner.\r\n\r\nAt my new building, I am still working out the technological details for connecting it to my classroom screen. They use a different monitor here that doesn't have as easy compatibility to the iPad. I have an appointment set up with the district tech specialist to help me figure this out. While I'm still using the iPad for planning purposes, I would like to be able to fully utilize it like I had intentioned within my classroom instruction. I'm hopeful this will be resolved and students will benefit yet again!\r\n\r\n\r\nWith gratitude,\r\nMrs. Brand \r\n\r\n(The signature below is written by Donors Choose and only has my maiden name on it :) )","fullyFundedDate":1742911526317,"projectUrl":"project/flexibility-to-promote-engagement-prox/9104394/","projectTitle":"Flexibility to Promote Engagement & Proximity","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hershenow","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9234986_orig.jpg?crop=1834,1834,x151,y473&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1693278190829","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9234986"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_71791","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1521,"numTeachers":72,"percentFrplEligible":14,"percentAsian":16,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":70,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":6,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"21.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":40.0,"schoolId":71791,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Adams High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Adams High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/michigan/rochester-community-school-district/adams-high-school/71791"}
