ELMO, Everyone Let's Move On

Funded May 2, 2017

Thank you so much for funding our project "ELMO, Everyone Let's Move On". The ELMO and timer make a big difference in students' learning.

With the ELMO, students can easily follow the instructions and improve note-taking skills. With the ELMO, I can zoom in on small items to show the details so that students, especially visual learners, better understand the materials and concepts. The ELMO promotes student discussion and engage students in learning math. My students, including English Language Learners, are willing to present their classwork using ELMO. They are confident and proud of themselves. They are willing to take risks and try their best to practice new language and academic vocabulary.

We use the timer in daily instruction and exam day. With the timer, students develop their time management skills and use time effectively. The 12in Time Timer is easier to use and read. My students like it so much. Everyday, when students enter the classroom, they are ready to learn and begin Warm Up promptly. The timer keeps students calm, focused and aware of time during individual practice and group activity. The Time Timer also helps students keep track of time at Exam. Some students have especially warmed to the Time Timer. They like to set up the Time Timer and challenge their limit during the small group after-school tutoring.

The technology increases students' confidence and engages them in learning. Again, thank you for all you do for our students. We felt so blessed that you made a big difference in students' life. You are a part of their lives too.”

With gratitude,
