The Other ELMO: Tickling A Breakthrough In Education
Funded Mar 6, 2009Simply thanking you for your generous donation hardly scratches the surface of how grateful my students and I are. As one student put it, "I wish you could come here so we can thank you in person"! I couldn't agree more. I wish you could see the impact this has had on my students' learning. The ELMO document camera has, in just the few short weeks that we've had it, changed the climate of our classroom. With the benefit of adding visual aids to any subject, my students are much more engaged in lessons and other students' work. They are more easily able to learn from one another as they share their work, and also much more motivated to do well on even daily assignments. In addition to the motivation they get from knowing that they may have the opportunity to share their work with their peers, they are also learning to be comfortable with basic public speaking; as sharing work has become a routine in our class. They look forward to using the machine and I constantly hear phrases like, "This thing is so cool"! As a teacher, I am so pleased with how motivated they have become to produce better quality work. You made this possible! Because of your generosity, my kids are learning on a new level and providing peer-to-peer encouragement. ”
