My Project

I teach math so my students will use their dry erase markers to show procedural steps on their whiteboard. This allows me as their teacher to see their responses and understand their thought process without having to walk by each student individually. Also, this will allow for misconceptions and praises to be addressed in real-time.

Students use headphones in class to do research and complete assignments on the computer.

The headphones allow for the volume to be used without disturbing other students. This is very important when they need to hear different task, explanations, or lessons being delivered.

We would greatly appreciate your support so that we can pursue excellence with no barrier!
