Let Me Show You!

My students need a quiet recording space to showcase their learning. The cubes and foam will act as a quiet space in our busy classroom. The phone adapter will ensure that the students are heard.

My Students

My students are amazing! Every day, I am in awe of the the creative things they write or are intrigued by. I am passionate about pushing showing their learning in multiple ways, because I notice they all have special abilities. My kids are bright and I want their passions and voices to shine through. My kids are in need of a quiet space to capture the work they are proud of. They are truly a wonderful group of kids that deserve every chance possible to get ahead and achieve greatness!

My Project

Technology is great when it works properly right? The program I use in my classroom is a digital portfolio where students take ownership and share the work that they are most proud of. If the materials are purchased for my classroom, it will enhance the use of Seesaw. Using our school technology, students are able to capture photos, videos and complete activities showing their growth and learning. Student's parents and families can see and comment on their work, creating a close community and involvement with school and home.

In the past, my class has used Seesaw before, but it has been difficult to hear the students through the devices' built-in microphone.

Unfortunately, the device picks up lots of background noise and it is difficult to hear the joy and ownership of the student shine through.

With the materials listed, students will help create a sound box for the device where they can be confident and have a quiet space to drown out the noise of the busy classroom. Also, the microphones will be sure to capture the voices of the students and make them the center of attention. The hanging organizer will hold the phones while not in use and will also provide wipes to disinfect the adapter after each use.
