Interactive tablets in the classroom show enormous potential and are on the rise. As a teacher whose 1st graders truly use effective technology lessons daily, I know having an ActivSlate tablet would serve a purpose in bringing more lessons. Interactivity of Flip Charts+ActivSlates=Engaged Students!
I love teaching!
I have been in the classroom for more than 20 years now, most of which, are at the Pre K-5th grade school where I now work. My 1st graders simply love using technology in our classroom, whether it lies with computers, our Promethean Board, cameras or other tools. We have over 500 wonderful students and we have awesome parental support in our community. I currently teach all subjects in 1st grade. I am proud that our school has worked hard to gain technology and hope we can continue to move forward with technology integration in our classrooms!
My Project
As an educator, I know the importance of focusing on individual student levels. With the use of an ActivSlate, I know my students could work to improve reading and math levels. If you are wondering, what is it? The website states," ActivSlate makes dynamic, interactive classroom experiences everyday occurrences by giving anyone who wishes to participate control of the ActivBoard from anywhere in the ActivClassroom. A wireless, fully integrated, notebook-sized tablet, ActivSlate uses the same ActivPens as the ActivBoard, is small enough to sit on a student desk, and is light enough to be carried into any discussion." My students will gain knowledge through the interactivity of this tablet in centers & with whole class activities in all subjects. When used with teacher created flip charts, the results are amazing! Students hold the slate and participate in the flip charts from their desk. It is used for all subjects and skills. The ActivSlate needs the hub, charger and pens.
With technology money currently not available at this time for classrooms, my students and I would truly be appreciative of your help in having an ActivSlate tablet in our classroom.
I know we would use it for effective lessons to bring the students to a higher level of academic achievement. Interactivity of Flip Charts + ActivSlates = Engaged Students! That is a fact most teachers know. Would you please consider helping our first grade class receive an ActivSlate tablet?
