eBeam

Posted by Audrey Fine under Toys

I am so excited!  My eBeam has been delivered.  Each year I try to purchase a new piece of technology for my classroom.  Because I’m not in a Title I school (even though I teach children from other Title I schools), there is not money for the school to purchase new technologies.  The school district also has been leaving it up to the individual schools to come up with the money for these technologies.  Well, if you are in a lower middle class socioeconomic school, the money is just not there from the parents.  So, because of this, and a generous hubby, I bought it myself.  Anyway, I digress.

I chose an eBeam over a SMART board because I can move it around.  It’s portable and works on any white surface - even the wall.  I am fortunate to have a white dry erase board to project on in my classroom.  If I get moved to another classroom (which happens yearly) I can easily take it with me.  When I do demonstration lessons at other locations, it can easily travel with me.  I can’t wait for the students to see it in action.
