SUMMERVILLE, S.C. (WCSC) – Sixth grade Alston Middle School teacher Elizabeth Matthews loves to keep her students engaged with frequent hands-on learning opportunities.
She says that she also draws inspiration in the teaching from her students.
She says her current Donors Choose project was triggered by a student who brought a digital microscope to class.
“He was like, ‘Ms. Matthews, look at what we can do. ’He opened it, and we looked at pollen grains coming out of the dust trap and the steamer and the students gathered around. When you can really show them at the moment with a microscope, the commitment is amazing, “Matthews said.
Matthews says having the large digital microscopes available to students in his class and on tables that they can use while in the lab will not only arouse curiosity but also help them develop digital skills to succeed.
She says the larger screen will also make it easy for students to see what they are looking at up close in her science class.
“I can sit here all day and tell them that works are made from segments that I would like them to learn. That would mean the world would bring the whole year to life and allow them to perform these tasks. , ”Said Matthews.
Matthews says that through her Donors Choose project, she hopes to get two digital microscopes funded for her classroom.
She hopes they are waiting for her students when they start back in the fall.
