My students require clear step-by-step guidance through their learning. A document camera will allow me to walk my students through complex assignments wherever instruction may take place, be it in the classroom or through remote instruction. Learning is best done in an engaging and caring environment. Individual whiteboards will allow them to have tactile learning experiences, while the Plexiglass shields will help me to continue to provide small group instruction for students who benefit from up-close instruction and interactions with peers. Should we need to return to remote learning, I will use my whiteboard to instruct my students since I had to scramble to make use of a much smaller one during remote instruction and found it woefully insufficient for our needs. The filters and safety glasses will provide additional safety measures for me and my students. All of these items will be invaluable in allowing me to build a safe environment that also allows for students to build relationships as a class and as a team.
