Our class is an inclusion class with 32 students of varying backgrounds, abilities and learning styles. They all benefit from learning in smaller groups than whole class instruction allows, but without access to this board, they were all crammed in one group when we needed access to technology. With this board, we have been able to divide the class for lessons into two groups, with equal access to visual supports, engaging games and the ability to share our work. \r\n\r\nAs a teacher, this is the first time both groups have had equal access to the engagement and support this board provides, and it is a game-changer for our students. Our students have raved about having enough space physically to do their work now that they are not squished onto one rug, being able to all see the board (not just the kids lucky enough to get front-row seats) and having more chances to go up to the board and participate. One student has nicknamed our board \"Carl\" and they get excited to be assigned to \"Carl's group\". \r\n\r\nThe students are quick to pick up the different format of this board and love discovering new tools and techniques this board has compared to our other board. They are teaching us new features they discover and we are getting the chance to learn alongside our students. \r\n\r\nWe cannot thank you enough for the opportunities and access this board provides to our classroom!","fullyFundedDate":1755723202954,"projectUrl":"project/double-the-boards-double-the-impact/9613664/","projectTitle":"Double the Boards, Double the Impact","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Wilkinson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp815716_orig.jpg?crop=2448,2448,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1623416775612","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-wilkinson"},{"teacherId":5212910,"projectId":9151579,"letterContent":"I've already received my books!
