Quality Resources for my Quantitative Room
Funded Nov 16, 2009Words cannot express how thankful I am for your generous donation... but I'll try anyways. My students are so grateful—it definitely beats projecting onto the wall! The screen is so big that everyone in the room (even the kids all the way in the back!) can see what's going on. With the screen, I can utilize the tablets and ELMO document camera so that kids are continually engaged and involved in the lesson. The kids want to move around and be part of everything going on.
One of the reasons why I decided to become a teacher was that I would deal with new situations, scenarios, and students every day from year to year. I knew it would be a profession that would continually challenge me for the rest of my career. Because of this continual change, however, I think it is important that my lessons remain relevant to today's youth. The screen allows my classroom to stay current with technology. Not only have you made an impact on my students with your donation, but you've also allowed me to develop professionally.
I've included photos of the screen being used in my classroom. I wish I could have sent videos of the lesson as photos do not do justice to the exciting classroom environment the technology creates. Kids can see both my work and their own work come to life. They love going up to the screen and talking about what's going on in the math problems.
It truly is amazing how one small change can make such a great difference. Your donation to my classroom has made a difference in the lives of my current students and will continue to make an impact in years to come. Thank you again for making all of this possible. The world really is a better place with people like you!”
With gratitude,
Ms. Gonzales
