Help me give my students an Elmo TT 12ID Interactive Document camera so I can produce high-quality video and live lessons for distance learning and in the classroom when we return.

My Students
In our 7th and 8th-grade math classrooms, we work constantly on improving our creative and critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Our classroom mantra is "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn." We want to learn and to be excited about mathematics every day.
With the current school closures, our students are learning from home with few resources and supplies.
We are limited in our technology, so we are working from a combination of paper and online resources. We really need the resources for our students to learn asynchronously.
My students come from a high poverty area and many lack basic resources, but they are trying their best to keep up with distance learning. Our families are often working and unable to help with schoolwork, and our school does not have the funding to equip us with the tools we need to effectively meet the needs of our learners.
My Project
Distance learning is hard, and it's even harder for middle school math students. Math in middle school is often difficult for families to help with because it looks much different now than when the parents of our students were in school.
I will be able to use this Elmo TT 12ID Interactive Document camera to produce high-quality instructional videos for students to view while distance learning.
I will also be able to use it to deliver interactive lessons in real-time to small groups via video conference as needed to differentiate and meets the needs of all of our learners.
Once we return to school, we will still be able to use the document camera in the classroom to share work and present content seamlessly in our everyday math lessons.
