Epson PowerLite LCD Projector
Single Unit Why I need this:
I currently have a grand total of 3 computers in my classroom. It is very difficult to look up stuff on the internet and share it with the whole class at the same time. There are a lot of wonderful places and ideas out in the world that my students have no concept of and I want to share these things with them, but it is incredibly difficult to group a classroom around a 15 in. monitor and have everyone be able to see.
Quantity: 1 Price: $999.95

Jerome, Idaho
Class Information:
Room Number: 14
Students per Class: 18
Class Description:
We are a community that hosts a variety of nationalities. We have an immigration relocation center here in Twin Falls and as a result have a population diversity that rivals some major cities. My class is a good representation of this mix. Along with the "home-grown" kids, we have families from Iran, Kurdistan, Bosnia, Mexico, and Nepal. I also have students with some physical limitations that require special adaptations for their participation.
Position:
5th grade teacher
Needs:
I need tools to help my diverse class participate on an equal basis while engaging their learning styles. One tool that would be extremely useful for this is a multiple response "clicker". It would allow all of my students to engage and respond to their learning activities and give me immediate feedback on their individual progress.
My Philosophy:
Technology is the key to equalizing education.
Personal Information:
Why Do I Teach?:
I teach because I feel a responsibilty to give back to my community. I feel that this is my way of helping my community grow stronger.
