My students need 4 mini iPads and cases to enhance their learning opportunities and projects that will take them out of the typical classroom and into a global community.
It's a new school year and we really could use some help bringing our classroom into the 21st Century with some new technology. We have 3 old IBM desktop computers and really would like to compete with our peers and have classroom iPads to enhance our learning.
We are second graders, who love coming to school to learn everyday.
We use the old desktops we have while taking turns in the morning and afternoon, but not all of us get a turn everyday. It's very frustrating and hard for some of us to understand, why we all can't have a turn everyday. That is why we are asking for your help to add more technology to our classroom so that all of us can have access to many different learning websites and applications to help us learn and grow this school year.
My Project
By having 4 iPads and cases in the classroom, we can enhance our learning in all subjects throughout the entire day. We can use iPads individually, taking turns with partners or in small groups of 5. We can have more students use the new technology for morning work - exploring literacy, math and science websites, learning new information, taking mini assessments to check our understanding and having different applications track our progress so we can continue to grow at our pace. In Literacy, we can build our fluency and increase our classroom library with access to more books to read. There are many websites and applications we can visit to learn and practice the reading strategies we learn in class.
In Math, the iPads will help us learn different strategies for basic addition and subtraction and use different manipulative to help us learn place value, graphing, reading charts, etc. In Science, we can learn how to conduct more experiments and have more access to information than what is currently in our classroom.
Having access to more technology in our classroom will benefit us greatly by allowing our minds to continue to grow and being exposed to more opportunities than what is available currently inside the classroom.
We will be exposed to 21st Century technology that we already own at home, and will be able to compete with our counterparts globally.
