My Students

Right now, I am teaching a small self-contained class that is fully remote. Whether in school or remotely, technology is needed to keep their interest and learning going. The students are diverse in their needs and demographics. They are so patient when the computer freezes and crashes. They love learning and are eager to participate in remote learning activities.

My Project

A laggy computer is no way to teach virtually. My Special Education students need continuity, engagement, and a multisensory approach to schoolwork. How can I accomplish any of that with a computer that lags and freezes all the time? There are many resources that are available to me that I would love to share with my students. Boom cards, Jamboard, and interactive books are just some to name a few. Unfortunately, I can't make use of them, as my laptop will often freeze or take too long to load. Then I have to decide whether to wait and risk losing their attention or move on and try to improvise. This is a daily struggle that interrupts the flow of the lesson and our continuity and engagement.

Every minute of virtual learning is precious, as their attention is limited.

Please help me provide a seamless experience for the students that need it most!
