In this particular group of students I have many that struggle to stay on task, especially during whole group times.
I have taught at this school for 15 of my 16 years in education.
It seems that each year, the number of students with low test scores increases. My students are eager to learn, but struggle to grasp concepts in writing, math, and science. Demonstrations happen during whole group time, and many become disengaged because they simply cannot see the activity.
My Project
I am requesting a document camera, and an Apple TV with a remote which will change how students are able to perform in class because they will have a visual example of what we are working on. We would also be able to save work to use as a later reference, and to add to our classroom resources. Additionally, students will also be able to show their own examples and talk to their classmates about their own understanding of the subject matter.
Students will have an easier time following along with directions and visualizing the subject matter when both students and I give examples.
There are many things that cannot be recreated on my whiteboard. These educational tools are desperately needed to help my students succeed.
