Online learning is a challenging task, but it is even more difficult when the technology that teachers are using is outdated and does not allow for the best delivery of instruction. Having a touch screen computer with access to a stylus will allow me to model concepts and skills that kindergarteners need to learn on the Zoom whiteboard and make annotations on texts or videos that I am projecting to the students. I can model letter formation instead of just typing the letters. My students can see and follow step-by-step instructions live. A projector can allow me to see ALL of my scholars in action on my whiteboard, not just three or four at a time on my computer screen when I am sharing my screen with them during instruction.
