It is a great impact in my classroom as I already have an easy access and good to go printer to print any colorful teaching materials to my students. \r\n\r\nMy students got very excited knowing that they don't have to read in black and white printed texts but were able to see the real life colors of photographs in the reading text. Because of this, they gain motivation to read.\r\n\r\nAlso, the poject contributed a significant help to me as a teacher because I don't have to go to the staff workroom to print materials for my students.
