My Project

Portable Speaker: A portable speaker can enhance classroom activities by allowing you to play audio resources such as podcasts, audiobooks, and music during lessons. It can also be used for announcements, group activities, or to create a more engaging and dynamic learning environment.

iPhone Chargers: iPhone chargers are essential for ensuring that any classroom devices, including student devices or your own, remain charged and ready for use throughout the day.

This is particularly important because I ask them to turn in their phones at the start of class, so having chargers ready will give me more buy-in.

Snacks: Providing snacks can help keep students energized and focused, especially during long school days or after-school activities. Having snacks available can also create a more welcoming and supportive classroom environment, which can be crucial for maintaining student engagement.

Plants: Adding plants to the classroom can improve the overall learning environment by creating a more inviting and calming space. Studies have shown that plants can reduce stress and improve concentration, making them a great addition to your classroom for both aesthetic and educational benefits.

Camcorder: A camcorder can be used to record lessons, student presentations, or projects, allowing for review and reflection. It can also be a tool for creating digital content, such as student-made videos, which can enhance creativity and provide an alternative way for students to demonstrate their learning.
