“Real Time Learning” Our project will enable students to celebrate standard setting work on a daily basis in the classroom. Teachers will integrate technology through the use of document readers and LCD projectors to display, capture, share, and save student work and teacher documents. The nature of this technology teaches to multiple learning styles and enriches the learning experience. Students across grades 5 through 8 in all subject areas will be able to share their information and see all details of their work with fellow classmates and teachers. Along with sharing student work, it allows teachers to bring documents to life easily. All documents such as books, photos, primary source documents, student work, and learning artifacts are effortlessly displayed as needed. This helps create a flexibility that allows teachers to shift the focus of a lesson when called for. It replaces traditional overhead projectors and the preparation time and the expense needed to create transparencies. This project is different in that if allows for a broader classroom experience. Artifacts and documents that could not easily be shared can be integrated into the lesson seamlessly. Student work is now not only viewable by the teacher but by other classmates as well and even other teachers and students in the school building and beyond. This makes it possible for students to contribute to each other’s learning in a way that wasn’t feasible before.
