My Students

At our school, we ask children to take on the responsibility for their own learning. A huge part of this responsibility includes sharing work, explaining the process, and fielding comments and questions. The size of notebooks and standard paper just makes it very challenging for everyone to see.

Our students enjoy sharing their thinking and ideas with their class community.

When a child shares, the presenter explains their work and a sophisticated discussion generally ensues about the thinking behind the work. Students genuinely enjoy the discussion and the respectful disagreements that arise. Each child feels responsible for helping their community understand new ways of thinking.

My Project

A document projector simply projects any image onto a screen. We already have a multimedia projector, which we use to show videos and teach interactive lessons on a computer. This document projector supports learning immensely, because it allows every child in the class community to see the piece of work under discussion. Whether it's the solution to a math problem, a piece of writing, or a page in a book, the document projector enables everyone to follow along.

Many students get frustrated and serious confusion can arise only some students are able to clearly see the work being discussed.

The power of learning in a community lives in exchange of ideas about a shared work. Your donation helps foster children's critical thinking, conversational skills, and a sense of responsibility for their own learning.
