Lincoln, NE
Dawes Middle School
Crose and Adams' program, "See Me Think", enables seventh and eighth-grade math students to "hear" each other, "see" each other, challenge each other and evaluate their own work and thoughts. Incorporating a visual presenter, a video camera mounted over a large base on which books, lessons and students' work can be placed to project its image to the whole class, makes sharing student work quick and easy. Students at Dawes Middle School will be able to present and explain their solutions and compare their work. Teachers will be able to save graphics of the shared work for later examination in class and/or share it later with students who may have been absent on a particular day. Teachers will also be able to share student work in dynamic ways. Note taking for students with disabilities will be less difficult since the program will allow access to archived class notes, student examples and connection to the visual presenter during class presentation.
