My Project

I attended some fantastic training on our unique professional development day district-wide! The ones that stood out to me were accessing students' depth of knowledge skills and creating and showing learning through other modes, such as Canva. I have started integrating what I knew from the two trainings, and the students have been creating beautiful projects to show deeper learning.

I would love to be able to print their colored portfolios and display them around the classroom!

The students have been so excited, creatingting incredible posters, infographics, and many other projects using this new tool. By the way, we get PRO access to be educators and students!

This printer will be used to show off student work. They work so hard to create, and I want to be able to hang their fabulous work around the room. I loved that the keynote speaker, Dr. Sabba, said building a good portfolio of projects sets one apart from the rest of the crowd when it comes time for interviews. I want to work with students and develop their portfolios with them.

Plus, who doesn't love a colored printer to turn black and white into vibrant pops of color? All students would have access to this with my permission!
