The use of whiteboards is almost a daily activity in my math classroom. Using the workshop model in math, students use whiteboards for guided practice. The whiteboards allow me to see exactly what they are doing, as well as provide an easy place for them to show and share their work. What has become a struggle, is that the markers never seem to last, erasers seem to disappear, and the whiteboards slowly become stained from frequent use. Many students don't have the resources to provide their own markers, or to bring a new one when theirs drys out. Students know that they must go to the supply buckets to get a new marker, new eraser, or the last choice, pencil and paper. This is distracting for many of my students who have focusing issues and they miss important instruction from either myself or other students. By having LCD tablets, students will be able to avoid all of these problems and focus on increasing their learning! By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement. Students will be able to simply focus on the academic material at hand, and not whether their materials are going to work or not. An added bonus is that in this technology literate world, any interaction with updated technology will increase their literacy as well as their desire to learn and use the new technology!
