Students use the boards to answer questions, sort vocabulary, and draw charts making assignments interactive and different. Students enjoy working with their partners, at least once per week, solving problems. They gleefully run to their boards, gather materials and start to work on their assigned task. As a teacher, I am able to give immediate feedback making sure students are hitting their learning targets, which is the ultimate goal. The class will continue to develop procedures or different ways of teaching using the boards. Thanks again for your contribution in changing this class.","fullyFundedDate":1759170013649,"projectUrl":"project/whiteboards-and-learning/9471904/","projectTitle":"Whiteboards and Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Medley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10027955"},{"teacherId":4795073,"projectId":9184151,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation!
