Project Title: SmartBoard and Projector Project
Goal: The ultimate goal of bringing in these technologies is to increase student learning. In order to see that take place, I have a few goals for this technology in my classroom. (1) Students will be able to access classroom instruction both in the classroom, and re-access that same information outside of class to review. (2) Students will learn how to effectively utilize internet resources and information. (3) Students with writing difficulties will be able to get class notes printed from classroom discussions. (4) Students and teacher alike will learn how to use the technology efficiently.
What I hope to Accomplish: I would like to see students be more interested in their math and science classes. Many of my students are at the lowest levels, especially in math. Many have decided they don't like the materials, or believe they are incapable of understanding. With the addition of some cool technology, perhaps we can get a few more students to tune into what we do. Students also have a higher absence rate, and making class notes available online will help these students stay current with the class. Finally, many of the students have challenges with reading and writing, so having these notes available will take some of the pressure off of them during lecture times.
Status: We have recieved all the equipment, and installed the SmartBoard. I currently have the digital projector sitting on my old overhead cart. We are waiting on an electrician to mount the projector. Students are very excited about the new technology. I am learning alot of cool tools and functions of the equipment. Students are eager to come up and show how to solve problems.
