My Project

My students love to learn! But a few have noticeably had more time and academic attention than others - whether at home or at school, I do not know- over the past 2-3 years. Working collaboratively with other students has helped to strengthen the group as a whole. The lap desks will allow my students to work at the carpet in small groups without having to hunch over or lay on the floor to write or to type on their laptops. The ease-of-use will also allow the students to configure their groups neatly to enhance collaborative conversations.
