My Project

I work in a small group setting in the classroom and we utilize whiteboards...a lot!! During my groups, the students work to develop skills and practice concepts more than once. The whiteboards have been super helpful in allowing the students to not only see my work, but to quickly do course corrections as they go. Having the markers and erasers will allow the students to more efficiently erase and rewrite their work. The rolling whiteboard will serve as a step by step guide for students to follow along and reach their highest achievements.
