My Project

Limited school resources and access mean that teachers have to schedule when they can go to the print room, decide how many copies they can make that month, and determine whether or not an activity has the necessary supplies.

Having a wireless color printer allows students to immediately see the results of their work, and having ink and colored paper readily available means that projects don’t need to be cancelled or reduced due to lack of supplies.

It also allows me to print modified materials for students with special at a moment’s notice.

Furthermore, as we develop more small-group instruction and activities, headphones allow students to work online independently, and crafting materials allow for building stations and projects.
