My Students

This pandemic and distance learning has affected all of us worldwide. On the local scale, my students have been hit even harder. Losing face-to-face interaction is one of the toughest things my students and I are facing. Working in a Title I school where most of my students come from low-income families, my students are lucky enough to stay in contact with me through their phones that have spotty wifi and/ or limited data. If they were able to make it to campus, they would have been issued a district device, but again, a lot of them are having trouble getting hotspots to even connect to the internet.

My students are very creative, often detail-oriented individuals who are eager to learn higher-level math and genuinely enjoy coming to my classroom every day.

I'm hoping to continue with some sort of normalcy through this distance learning project, being able to hold small group sessions and teach them on screen in the easiest way possible in order to further their education and keep up with their aspirations and hopes of learning math in fun, engaging ways.

My Project

This pen will allow me to easily annotate my computer screen in order to more clearly show my students step- by- step how to solve higher level math problems. I will be able to use the pen to draw different diagrams on screen which Geometry is heavily focused on and provide my students with a similar type of learning that happens in the classroom, even through distanced learning. When we are back in the classroom, I can use the adapter to hook up my laptop to the projector and project what I'm writing on the screen for my students to easily see.

These two accessories will help me better engage my students with the laptop I'm using.

They will allow me to more easily use my laptop during distanced learning by providing the tools needed to annotate the screen and hook up my computer to a projector when needed in order to enhance images and video clips to make math both fun and engaging.
