Why I need this: A portable classroom projector will allow students to view multimedia presentations and enhance academic instruction. The wireless function will connect the projector to the classroom computers with ease and allow for demonstrations of web based programs that students can access at home. Students can also use the projector to help demonstrate their own presentations to show understanding of content. Student council members can also use the projector for school wide assembly speeches and presentations.
Why I need this: Today's math instruction is fast paced and expectations are high. Students need calculators to understand math processes without being bogged down by complex algorithms. Not all math instruction involves calculators. In today's world, students need to know when it is efficient to use it and when their own brains are more functional.
