Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

Dear parents, as some of you may know, our school has just received several SmartBoards in the classrooms. We are currently working towards filling our technology needs and have decided that document cameras would greatly benefit instruction. Please help!

I teach 5th grade Magnet students.

We use technology every day for projects, testing, and learning. Our Magnet program is one of the best in the district and our students deserve to have all the tools necessary to succeed in a 21st century world. Document cameras are a necessary tool for the 21st century classroom.

My Project

With document cameras in the classroom students will be able to display and project their work to the class on interactive Smartboards. Students will also be able to see manipulatives or images the teacher shows using the zoom feature on the camera.

Document Cameras are the new Overhead Projector.

Teachers and students highly dependent on overhead projectors for instruction need this new technology to maintain a high level of education in the future. Please help us buy a document camera!
