Multimedia Presentation Cart
Funded Aug 25, 2011I would like to extend my gratitude for your donation. The cart is an asset to my classroom.
I don't have to use kindergarten desk in a fifth grade classroom to display/store the Elmo and projector that was funded prior to the cart. You made it possible of my goal of making my classroom a state of the art digital media classroom.
The cart provides a solution- a secure, yet adjustable designed to accommodate my new digital media equipment. It provides greater physical security for the unit and no line of site obstructions between the projector and the Elmo.
My lessons will definitely have an excellent results.
Thank you,

ELMO
Funded Apr 4, 2011I would like to extend my gratitude for your donation. The Elmo is a useful classroom device. It has revolutionize my classroom. The ELMO allows me to demonstrate and teach by displaying textbook, workbook, worksheets and objects to students. By displaying the student textbook, for example, I've completed problems, exercises and activities while students watch. Using the ELMO I have demonstrated material to the entire class, without having to write out all the information on the board. My students love the ELMO projector because they can see clearly how to complete exercises.The ELMO projector has been very useful for math demonstration, use protractors, a compass, a ruler, money and other manipulative. I also modeled the writing process.
The possibilities for the use of the ELMO projector in classrooms are limited only by a teacher's imagination. Thank you so much. You have made my teaching life easier.”

I would like to extend my gratitude for your donation. The projector is a useful classroom device.
With the use of projector in the classroom, my students take better notes with the ability to discern what information that I display is most useful to them. Additionally, students ask me to repeat a slide if they missed information, or even ask that me to email the presentation for further review.
The projector has release me from being bound to chalk and dry-erase boards to present information to my students. With the use of projectors, I now use films, slides, and images to teach students about a variety of subjects. We also find that the Internet is more useful since the projector can display web content to an entire class, rather than each student accessing information on individual computers.
Prior to the use of projector in the classroom, I used to spend time writing notes on the board, as well as erasing information as the board filled up.I can easily prepare all notes prior to class for easy presentation. I also find that I spend less time repeating or rewriting information that is now accessible with a simple click.
My students appreciate the use of projectors when they prepare class projects that they can now create in PowerPoint or other electronic mediums. Presentations on a projector, additionally, reduce the need to make copies of materials to pass out to classmates.
Thank you so much. You have made my teaching life easier.”
