Rethinking The Whiteboard: Building Collaborative Classrooms With mcSquares
Verified Non-Profit

$650 goal
The Description
Traditional whiteboards have been part of classrooms for decades. In my classroom there is emphasize hand-on learning and collaboration. This year I want to implement the mcSquares Whiteboard System to ensure that my students are able to express their creativity while also building a collaborative environment that allows every student to take part of the learning.
mcSquares are individual whiteboards that snap together using mounting brackets that will allow every one of my students to join in on the learning process, answer questions, or draw diagrams. When completed, every student can use the magnets on the back of the individual mcSquare to display their answer along with their peers’.
No longer is the whiteboard just a place for me to stand and teach, but a place where my students can learn from each other. If this sounds like a learning environment you would’ve liked to been in, please consider a small investment for my classroom.

Back Up Plan
If we do not reach our goal I will be having a student lead voting on how we should spend the money with given guidelines. May of the materials in our school are old, outdated, or broken. Students will be able to use their knowledge of government and voting to determine how we will use the money, new classroom supplies, access to new technology websites to practice math instruction, payment for materials for classroom transformations, or flexible seating options. From those options students will vote and the highest option will be purchased with the money donated from this grant.
