My Students

The students who utilize my class are mostly seniors but I do have some juniors, sophomores, and freshmen. As an online public school, I have students throughout Florida. Some are virtual school pros and others are trying for the first time. They work hard and resubmit to master the content.

These students have so much potential.

Thank you for seeing that.

My Project

Graphs are created & altered daily in my virtual classroom. Using the digital pen will allow me to model accurately how to create the graphs while students are online with me. I've attempted to use different formats digitally, but they tend to take up scarce time & are not as precise as a pen/paper. Additionally, the screen will help increase engagement with the videos made for students while focusing them on topics while completing visual & audio assessments & tutoring.

By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement.

Students will be able to concentrate on the complexity of academic material, and not get distracted by imprecise graphing and unrelated backgrounds. As we progress in this virtual world my access to current tech helps me become more literate in electronics and encouraging them to wonder, desire, and learn as well!
