My Students

A lot of my students are struggling right now. Some have lost family members, others have parent's that are essential employees and have had to step up as caregivers to younger siblings. In addition, many are lacking the technology they need to fully engage with distance learning. Many are also living in small, cramped spaces with multiple people, with no desk or room to work quietly in, potentially taking turns with one household device to get work done.

It is my job as their teacher to keep my students engaged and motivated to stay home and learn during this stressful and frustrating time for them.

To do this without any of my usual materials is difficult. In the classroom, I rely on the many manipulatives and art supplies, chromebooks and lab equipment to keep them entertained and actively learning. Now, I have a computer screen. I can embedded powerpoints and videos into my live lessons with them, but this isn't enough. And this is all I have to last me the rest of the school year, and possible beyond that since we are not allowed back into our classrooms.

My Project

Right now, with only one device in my home for carrying out live lessons, I cannot monitor the chat box while sharing my screen wit students. When I want to show them a video, for instance, my ability to see their chats is eliminated.

This IPad will allow me to enter the live lesson from a second device where I can respond to questions and comments live while a video is playing.

It will also help me monitor conversations that I can't normally see to ensure my virtual class is maintaining a respectful rapport and environment.
