All the curriculum require students to discuss their thinking and explain what they learning in class. With the headsets, even the quietest student will be able to voice her thoughts and/or misunderstandings. The recorded information can be used by the teacher, the student(s), and the parent. This will be a very good source for growth data. In the Math Curriculum, students will use the Dry erase materials daily to practice their learning and display it the teacher. The teacher can then visually look around and see who has it, who needs a little more instruction, and who needs intervention. By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement. The use of whiteboards is a daily activity in my classroom, especially in math. Using the workshop model in math, students come to the rug with whiteboards for guided practice and to record modeled strategies. The whiteboards allow me to see exactly what they are doing, as well as provide an easy place for them to show and share their work. What becomes a problem is the fact that the markers never seem to last, erasers seem to disappear, and the whiteboards slowly become stained from frequent use. When something goes awry, students know that they must leave the rug quietly to get a new marker, new eraser, or the last choice, pencil and paper. Even though they are great about doing this, it is distracting for many of my students who have focusing issues and they miss important instruction form either myself or other students. By having an abundance of markers will help elevate some of the problems and distractions.
