A Second Screen, A Doorway to the World

Help me give my students the opportunity to engage in meaningful activities through a second screen. A second screen will empower me to do more, see more, see and acknowledge everyone. Thank you.

My Students

My students are eager young minds that are keen to explore the world around them. Being the teenagers that they are, the pandemic has limited where they can go and what they can do. The limits that the pandemic places on their physical environment does not necessarily mean that they would be limited in what they can do. There's a wide variety of activities that can help students breach these walls. They can have virtual field trips, communicate with other students from another part of the world. It's possible but it's challenging. It is tough to orchestrate these types of activities with a 13-inch screen in front of you.

Another screen will help in mapping out different activities for my students to engage in.

It will certainly provide me with more digital space to work with; to plan out more engaging activities that will increase the involvement of the students from behind their screens and step into worlds and communities they can explore.

My Project

Remote learning has presented several challenges to us teachers. When you are working on a computer, you work with one screen and multiple tabs and windows. You toggle between windows to see who among your students are in the live Google meeting and the lesson you are presenting. On top of that, you also have to check attendance, respond to questions on the chat, respond to kids who are asking questions. That is a tough thing to do with only one screen.

A second screen expands my digital real estate and allows me to manage student interactions and the tasks required from the teacher teaching a class.

It makes me more effective at my job and consequently rewards me with the satisfaction that I was able to get my lesson across to my students. You would certainly be helping me reach my students more effectively. Thank you in advance.
