Our TV has finally stopped working after years of service. Our classrooms are in garages and open to all the elements here in Hawaiʻi. Our TV serves as a projector and a monitor for the whole class to see examples of assignments, projects, and short clips made by students. It is a tool the teacher uses to give students the visual aspect of lessons. By using the TV as our projector, kumu is able to eliminate the use of excessive copies of papers. Teacher and students use the TV to present projects, project assignments, projects, examples for all students to see.
