Funded Nov 30, 2021Technology is helping my students learn to their maximum potential. This presentation remote has allowed my co-teacher and I to teach from every corner of the classroom. We can stand next to a student that is misbehaving or stand at the back of the classroom to be able to watch the entire class.
Frequently, my co-teacher and I stand off to the sides of the classroom to give students the floor and let them go up to the board. Students get to take the lead and be the teachers in the room. This empowers students and promotes a growth mindset in them to be able to lead with confidence. The students are super excited to be classroom leaders and to be able to come up to the Smartboard and write on it.
The students who have benefited the most from this new technology have been our students with disabilities and our English Language Learners. They have always been the quiet ones who sit at their desks and are shy to participate verbally. Coming up to the Smartboard to show what they know has allowed them to nonverbally participate, and yet, still show their teachers and peers that they can do the work!”
With gratitude,
