My Students

We need more iPads and headphones so all of our devices can be used at once! Have you ever been in a room with 34 computers "talking" at once? Or have you ever been the one student left without an iPad? Please help my students never be in that situation by giving to our project!

Our students come from a wide variety of backgrounds, and the library is the place that equalizes them.

We have students from around the block and around the world. We have students that are learning English and that are learning other languages. Give to a school that has many cultures, diversity, and adversity!

My Project

iPads and headphones will give our students the tools to hear and be a part of all kinds of new experiences. Our school is an international school and by using the internet we could go around the world without ever leaving the library! This would open our students eyes to other cultures and ideas!

These materials will help students experience and experiment with technology to help them become digitally literate!

I strive to teach students how to use technology to find information and use that information in the best way possible!
