My students have different learning preferences and learning abilities. Although my students are hardworking and always try their best, they struggle with following along. One of the reasons why they struggle is because of the language barrier. Unfortunately, there are limited resources that are available to us. I am hoping to receive a document camera in order to support all my students. With the use of an Elmo my students will be able to clearly follow along with me as I model how to solve a problem or answer a question. They can visually follow along and do the same thing I do as I teach. They will be more attentive, more engaged and more motivated to learn.
