It allows me to project documents, worksheets, books, and student work onto the board, making it easier for all students to see and follow along. This visual support is especially helpful for students who benefit from step-by-step instruction, as I can model writing strategies, math problems, or reading comprehension techniques in real time.\r\n\r\nThe ability to work directly on documents while students watch encourages active participation. I often invite students to contribute ideas or solve problems as we work through tasks together, which fosters a more interactive and collaborative learning environment. Students are more focused when they can clearly see the materials being discussed and feel more connected to the learning process.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, the document camera helps streamline transitions and minimize downtime. Instead of passing out individual papers or writing everything on the board, I can display and annotate materials instantly. This efficiency allows us to maximize instructional time and maintain a smooth classroom flow. Overall, the document camera has significantly enriched my teaching practices by enhancing visibility, interaction, and student engagement during lessons.","fullyFundedDate":1724253772702,"projectUrl":"project/neat-clean-and-organized-oh-my/8648030/","projectTitle":"Neat, Clean and Organized, OH MY!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Fonseca","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2377808_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1455064942986","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/efonseca"},{"teacherId":2377808,"projectId":8551628,"letterContent":"Reading Sugar Changed the World by Marc Aronson and Marina Budhos had a profound impact on our 5th grade class, opening our eyes to the complex and far-reaching history of sugar. The book served not only as a historical narrative but also as a powerful teaching tool that helped students explore both the positive economic outcomes and the deeply troubling consequences of slavery tied to the global sugar trade. Through its accessible yet thought-provoking language, the book made it possible for young readers to engage with difficult historical truths in a meaningful and age-appropriate way.\r\n\r\nBy presenting both sides of sugar's legacy, the wealth it created and the suffering it caused, the book encouraged critical thinking. Students were challenged to consider how something as seemingly simple as sugar could have such complex consequences. It taught them that history is not always black and white, but filled with difficult choices, injustices, and advancements that often come at a cost.","fullyFundedDate":1723670544955,"projectUrl":"project/creating-a-love-for-non-fiction/8551628/","projectTitle":"Creating a LOVE for Non-Fiction!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Fonseca","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2377808_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1455064942986","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/efonseca"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_21216","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":836,"numTeachers":51,"percentFrplEligible":40,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":7,"percentWhite":59,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":27,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"16.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":79.5,"schoolId":21216,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Myers Corners Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Myers Corners Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/wappingers-central-school-district/myers-corners-elementary-school/21216"}
