The following have been instances where the students and I have been able to take advantage of the tablet:\r\n\r\nDirect Interaction: Using a stylus for sketching, sculpting, or making adjustments in design software allows for precise, direct manipulation of designs. This makes the learning process more immersive and allows you to demonstrate techniques more effectively.\r\n\r\nPortability: A tablet's portability allows us to take the lesson anywhere, whether you're working on a project in the classroom or in the field. I can quickly set up anywhere to work through design challenges with students.\r\n\r\nInteractive Learning: With the tablet, I can create step-by-step tutorials, use apps that allow for a 3D visualization, and engage students with interactive design features, which can make learning more fun and effective.\r\n\r\nOverall, the new tablet likely made your teaching more dynamic, allowing you to guide students through 3D design in an interactive, efficient, and engaging way.","fullyFundedDate":1736809540414,"projectUrl":"project/logistics-is-the-future/9042174/","projectTitle":"Logistics is the Future!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Palencia","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9880401"},{"teacherId":9888687,"projectId":9035454,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation of $500 to help with my automotive classes by being more green instead of using a ton of paper.
