Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

Are you someone who needs to see a visual in order to understand what someone is describing? Imagine trying to learn how to cross multiply to solve a proportion by just using verbal cues. Document cameras will allow students of all learning styles to succeed in my classroom.

My class consists of both general and special education students who rely on both of their teachers using a multi-modality approach to learning.

Many students in my classroom struggle with maintaining focus and understanding verbal cues without seeing a model present. Having a document camera will help them understand how to successfully complete math problems and writing prompts by seeing a model of the work projected from this document camera.

My Project

I am requesting a document camera projector for my classroom to close this gap for my students. This document camera has the capability of being used in all subject areas, and can even be beneficial in a small group setting during a lesson. Students learn by example and this document camera will provide them just that. I would love to get them into an early habit of learning how to complete assignments correctly, so that it will transpire into each student being successful as they move on in their educational career. These children are our future, we must educate them as early as possible.

This project is so important because technology is difficult to obtain in many school settings.

This item is a bit pricey and is not something that I am able to afford on my own. Students love technology and are more engaged in lessons where technology is used. I want my students to be successful, and by obtaining and implementing this small piece of equipment would make a huge impact on their learning.
