Technology Upgrade Needed STAT!

My students need a document camera to enhance and update the way they view classroom materials presented to them and to replace our aging overhead projector.

My Students

The Common Core standards require students to dissect more rigorous texts with deeper understanding. This is more difficult to do with an unreliable overhead projector. Students need to be able to see, mark, and interact with text in any subject matter to have a more developed understanding of it.

My students attend a suburban-rural school in Indiana.

Our school has experienced some financial distress over the last several years that has brought about many changes. Teachers have been laid off, class sizes have increased at all levels, and school provided supplies have been eliminated. Therefore, my students, their parents, and myself are often left to fill the gap between what we have and what we need. This issue leaves no money in the budget for new technology.

My Project

I am fortunate to have a digital projector in my classroom, and with that connection I am able to project video clips, listen to portions of textbooks, and show my students presentations I have made. I have to use a screen for all of those, and I cannot make any kinds of notations or markings. If I want to show my students a text or write on it in any way, I have to use an overhead projector. The school's overhead projectors are not being replaced as they wear out, and there is no plan to purchase anything in their place. By the end of the previous school year, I was using my third overhead projector. My students need something more reliable that can be counted on while I am teaching. I will be able to show my students a variety of texts while I am teaching as well. I will not have to depend on the black and white transparencies I am currently using. I will be able to open a whole new world up to my students that has not been available to them before.

Having a document camera will make such a difference in my classroom!

If I'm reading a story to my students, I will be able to put the pictures under the camera and everyone will get to see. If I'm doing a science or math activity that is difficult to see, I can put it under the camera for everyone to see. It will allow my students to step into the next dimension with technology in their classroom.
