Students participate better during circle time activities by answering questions that are reflected with the visuals on the projector. The student get excited when they can see their music and movement songs on the bigger screen and follow the steps when dancing. Their music and movement time has increased in engagement as the students are curious to watch all the great video clips of their favorite songs. All students in the classroom have warmed up to using the projector as they pretend to touch the visuals with their fingers, just like if they were using a touch screen tablet or phone. \r\nOur students have increased their engagement and willingness to participate in a wider range of activities. They like to see the visuals in a bigger format, and their skills have improved with counting, sorting, and matching.
