My Project

My students are motivated and highly engaged in my computer lab where I teach digital art. I am extremely lucky to have the chance to teach Adobe Photoshop along with other digital art programs in my 6th, 7th, and 8th grade classes.

With the location of my computer to the students, having a presentation clicker will help with smoother transitions.

The laser pointer on the presenter will also help me show specific items.

The stylus will also help students navigate the Cricut Program we use on our classroom iPad to help design and print items. Our classroom has a very high humidity percentage which has created a musty odor that we are looking to get rid of! A classroom dehumidifier will help with that tremendously as well as make it not so humid!
