Scribe Solution

As a Special Edu teacher I spend a lot of time copying from the board for students to their desk so that they can copy with greater ease. I hate using all the extra paper - such a waste. I was recently given a Smart Pal tablet (thanks Nici!) It's a large envelope of sorts made out of clear plastic with a dry erase maker. You slide a sheet of paper into the opening and voila! You can model 1:1 for any student and simply erase when done. I love it, but have only one problem - I don't have enough! I have only one, but have 5 students who need to copy from desk to paper, not board to paper. Solution - make my own! I simply took a sheet protector and put in several types of paper (lined, blank, graph, some students have special lined paper as well). This is working great so far! Kids love it too!

Here's wishing all my fellow teacher friends a great school year! I hope you all have the best year yet, with the best students yet!

Best of luck to all!
