My Students

"Wow, thanks for showing me on the Elmo, but what if we tried it a different way?" We want to give our kids the opportunity to control the new technology that we just received.

My students are creative and curious and deeply intrigued by the new technology that has joined our room over the last few weeks.

They are eager to play and try and learn and explore and they want to share their knowledge and ideas with each other. They want to control the Elmo that we just received through this wireless controller.

My Project

In the center of our classroom stands a new projector cart complete with a new projector and Elmo. Our students are very excited to interact with this amazing new technology, but we need the Elmo Wireless Tablet to help connect them to this resource. With the wireless tool, students can pass around the controls to this technology!

Our students deserve to enjoy their new technology in all of its glory.

We have done so much already with our Elmo and projector, but we can do so much more when we can give the control of this powerful technology to our students.
