I understand education as a mechanism for emboldening students academically, socially, culturally, and creatively. As a literacy educator, and Workshop Model teacher, I believe that it is my responsibility to demonstrate high-level reading and writing skills live, inviting students to be inside of the reading and writing processes on a daily basis.
A document camera will make literacy instruction accessible for all of my students. A functioning document camera makes it possible for students to join me on the page of a book, or a notebook, as I read, and think aloud before them in a safe way. By being a part of this literacy experience, students are then better set up to transfer their learning into their own reading and writing lives.
Recently, our beautiful document camera stopped working, making literacy instruction so much harder and also a health risk. Teaching in the time of Covid-19 already creates so many obstacles for teachers, so please help me to eliminate one more, and bring literacy back to life, by helping us to replace a key resource in our classroom.
