A Champion For Learning - $137.00

Impact to My Classroom

# of Students Impacted: 140

Due to the use of electronic writing boards I have seen an increase in student success on weekly Civics vocabulary quizzes as well as daily check-ups to review the previous days content. Students enjoy using the boards instead of the traditional wipe boards as they are easy to use, colorful, and dont require a marker and eraser.

I have also expanded use of these electronic writing boards into game play to review before a test. Students have enjoyed playing pictionary with Civics terms, Boards Up, where a question is asked and they race to see who can answer frist, as well as many other engaging games to keep learning fun.

Thank you for the generous donation to keep learning active in our classrooms.

Original Grant Overview

Goal

To provide engaging ways to gather formative assessment data from students on the spot. (engaging for students, quick and efficient for teacher)

What will be done with my students

I will use the electronic writing boards both in whole group and small group settings. I will ask check-up questions to my students and they will respond on the boards. This will provide me immediate feedback on mastery of content being taught, and allow me the opportunity reteaching or clarifying misconceptions on the spot. The boards are colored so they are more engaging then the regular white boards, and students can also come up with their own games, and ways to use them in small group settings.

Benefits to my students

increase engagement
formative assessment response tool
provide instant on the spot data collection for teacher
provide students opportunity for creativity
small group or whole group instruction

Budget Narrative

Ordered 7 sets (4 electronic writing boards per pack) so that I can use whole group or small group_). Will also share these with the other two Civics teachers. Also included replacement batteries for one time replacement.
