My Students

My students have so much potential, and I want to bring them into the 21st century! My students love using technology and want to become more engaged in science and see the world of science as something that they can explore!

These students are primarily from low-income households in urban neighborhoods of the Northwest San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles, CA.

They actively participate in hands-on science labs and activities, but the classroom needs to flow more smoothly with digital content and the students need to be safe from cords and tripping hazards!

My Project

By moving the projector to the ceiling, the students will have more space and I as the teacher will have the freedom to move about anywhere in the classroom without interrupting the lesson. Currently, the projector is located on a cart in the middle of the students' desks in order to provide a large screen image that can be viewed by everyone. With up to 44 students in the classroom, needing to move to the middle of the classroom can be distracting.

The wireless connectivity provided by the LAN module will allow for greater student interaction and smoother transitions between activities.

The students would also be able to connect their laptops directly to the projector to share work with the class. This would improve overall engagement and create a more positive working environment for the students.

New speakers will allow all of my students to stay engaged in lessons involving audio-visuals by providing. Currently, we not have speakers that can adequately produce enough sound to reach the whole classroom. Together, all these items will enhance the flow of the lessons for students and give the students a more enhanced 21st-century classroom experience.
