Project Goal

I would like to order 6 new document cameras for my school so that teachers can stop struggling with old, outdated technology. We do not have funds to buy these even though they are basic technology needs. 

 

How Project Benefits Students

It is a necessity for classrooms to be equipped with document cameras. This is an item that is used throughout the school day, every day. Teachers need them in order to show students various things including books, science experiments, student work, etc. Students need to be able to clearly see what they are learning, and having it projected onto the screen is the simplest way to achieve this. 

 

Expected Outcome(s)

In our school, most of the document cameras on our inventory were purchased around the same time, and they are all starting to fail right now. As the media specialist, I help all teachers maintain their technology, but this year has been particularly difficult. I usually have a couple of 'spare' document cameras on hand that I can swap out when necessary, but at this point I have given out all of the spares because so many are broken. Many teachers are still using the old document cameras, and when they break, I will not have anything to give them to use. I would like to ensure that teachers can keep teaching without the burden of broken or worn out technology. They will need to be replaced soon, but we don't have anything to give them when this happens. 

 

Detailed Cost Summary

I will use the funds to order 7 new document cameras through Procurement. This means that the models are purchased through the district and will be supported with maintenance from the AV techs. The price is on the district bid list so we will get this price when ordering.
