Victory Lakes Intermediate
Class Information:
Room Number: 275
Students per Class: 148
Class Description:
My classroom is loaded with technology, but too much of it is borrowed or missing. I have been shopping e-bay, writing grants, and begging to "store" things in my room so I can use things when I need/want to. Some days I get lucky, some days I do not. Many of my lessons include multiple technology devices and having just one unavailable puts a damper on or completely stops me from presenting a lesson.
Position:
teacher
Needs:
I need my own Elmo or Lumens DC160. I am missing a camera and some memory sticks. Although many parents buy their student a stick, many cannot afford one. I also want a smartboard that I can mount on the wall. My room is very crowded, and the "feet" get in the way. Tripping over a smartboard can be very expensive......
