During these difficult times brand, new challenges, which we never thought to face, are starring at us straight in the eyes. Typically my classroom is filled with chatter and the movement of students assisting one another, working through problems to answer their owns questions, exploring a new topic, and mastering things they never thought they would! With your help, my students will continue to get the high quality instruction they deserve. Schools are not equipped to ensure the safety of their students and staff which has resulted in virtual learning becoming the new "norm". With your help I will be better equipped to face the challenges that distance and virtual learning pose. In turn my students will be provided with high quality instruction. The success of virtual learning starts with the teacher setting clear expectations that the students understand. The document camera, microphone, webcam, light, and drawing tablet is key to effectively delivering instruction to students that they can both see and hear clearly. This clear image will also be the start of me forming relationships with my students despite not being in traditional classroom setting. The printer will allow me to scan and print items needed to send to students collectively and on a individual basis. Not only will these items be used during virtual learning but my students can use them upon returning to the classroom. Students will use the webcam, microphone, light, and drawling tablets to be able clearly communicate what they as they discover in their exploratory activities with their peers. The printer will allow students to print in color on an as needed basis. Virtual and distance learning is not the way teachers and students want to start the school year, but with your help, it can be the start to the BEST YEAR
