My Students

My classroom is filled with opportunity. Students are exposed to all aspects of learning. I engage my students with technology as much as possible. We work together to learn technology and research as much as we can as a class on the Internet, through videos, images and research.

My students are third graders in a charter school.

Our school is a classical education school, with Spalding, Saxon Math and Core Knowledge as the backbone to our learning. We are a K-6 school with over 600 students. My classroom of 28 students this year, is filled with differentiated learners.

My Project

All my students will learn to use access and research on the computer, as well as type reports and documents. We are striving to be fluent typers as well. Some students are pulled out for various resources and miss out on our computer time in the lab. I would love to have an iPad mini for my students to access the Internet in the classroom for quick references and a way to do research when we are not in the classroom. I also have a few students that struggle to write legibly and it would be great to have an iPad mini to quickly type their class assignment, so I can provide assessment to their learning. I can record student's oral reading and video plays to share with parents.

I know that having access to an iPad mini in the classroom will prove to be a valuable tool for all my learners in my class.

It will provide that quick access to the resources my students cannot get now without an iPad mini. My students will gain knowledge of using the Internet properly and how it can add to their learning and not just a toy to play with. It will aid with my assessment of students that struggle to correcting write due to limitations.
