I teach both Pre-AP classes and intensive Algebra classes, and the story stays the same: Students do not like being wrong, and often are afraid to even begin the process of learning as a result. In my 13 years of teaching experience, I have seen how the use of dry-erase boards allows students the freedom to try to solve problems for which they may have little to no prior knowledge, simply because erasing and trying again is such a quick and painless process. I have built-in components to my curriculum to allow students the opportunity to reflect on this process and the importance of failure in learning, but this simple tool does wonders in providing my students with comfort in taking that first step! Additionally, I merely have a projector in my classroom, and my computer speakers do not project well. I record all of my lessons and will sometimes even play them back just to see what kids pick up on through a video that they may not in person! I also only have 4-5 calculators, forcing my students to use a variety of tools to check their answers, which can often be an issue during whole-class discussions.
