  • 1.  Technology to assist with teaching from home

    Posted 04-24-2020 17:37
    The Parent Teacher Association at my school is offering teachers funding to help them teach more effectively from home during this pandemic.

    I have a Dell laptop.

    What additional technology do you have that has helped you teach from home that I should consider?

    A good pair of headphones (in ears or over ears, depending on preference and if you're on camera, or just using them for calls/audio recording)
    An external microphone
    A webcam
    Some sort of light (a bar or ring to add)
    An external keyboard, if you aren't a fan of typing on your laptop keyboard
    A ten-key if you do a lot of data entry
    A mouse
