A 2021 Grant for Leslie Fox Keyser Elementary School

This program allows teachers to offer differentiation for their students while keeping them engaged, allowing the teachers to meet their students on their levels. Teachers can create live presentations that they can present on their screen and their students’ screens at the same time; teachers are in control of the slides, and students are not able to move forward until the teacher switches slides. By them being able to see the slides on their computer, it eliminates the issue of not being able to see the board. Teachers can launch a white board during their presentation and write on it, and it will show up on their students' screens. For absent students or individual time, teachers can setup a student pace presentation. Both of these provide reports and allow teachers to see what their students know. One of the other great features is the Microsoft Immersive Reader which is perfect for students who struggle with reading or English Language Learner (ELL) students who require read-alouds. It allows teachers to meet their needs without drawing attention to them. The collaborative board also allows students to answer questions anonymously, which is perfect for the ones who are shy or worried about their answers, and it gives everyone a chance to participate.
