My Students

I teach Physics in an urban school where resources are limited. My students learn how to work efficiently in groups where they use the whiteboards to collaborate and express their ideas to the class. The students are full of energy and creative solutions to the problems plaguing the World.

My students are in 11th and 12th grade and are eager to learn.

They come from a rough area in a large urban environment but that all fades away as they enter the classroom. Education gives them an opportunity to get out of their harsh environment. The whiteboards help incredibly to their educational process.

My Project

My students need whiteboards and dry erase markers.As an instructor, I use whiteboards as a formative assessment tool. Whether the students are working alone during their warm up question or if they are collaborating in their groups, the whiteboards give me an opportunity to walk around the science classroom and see what the students/groups are thinking. It is a great tool for students to write out their ideas and to get feedback on their progress.

This project will make an incredible difference within my classroom.

Now students will be able to work more efficiently in their work groups and express their findings/ideas to the class. This also gives me, their teacher, a better tool for formative assessment. In the past, I have used paper but that is cumbersome and isn't as inclusive as the whiteboards are.
