My Students

Our class is full of personality and wit. We are an eclectic group of elementary students who learn best through multi-sensory education. We love technology and the opportunities it can provide for our learning.

Many of us have communication disabilities that make it very difficult to convey our wants, needs, feelings, and desires.

Technology is very engaging and motivating for us. Its interactive capabilities help supplement teaching to our unique learning styles through the visual, kinesthetic, and auditory modes of learning. Our students have moderate to severe disabilities, servicing all areas of special education eligibility. Many of us have a very difficult time with functional communication. We have a lot we want to say, but we often lack the ability to do so. Sometimes, this causes us to act out in ways we know we shouldn’t. Really, what we need is for our voice to be heard. We are a resource classroom of kindergarten through fourth grade students who learn best by using a multi-sensory approach. Technology facilitates this method of learning.

My Project

We know that there are many apps available to aid in our communication and overall learning experiences. The visual and auditory output of the iPad Minis will allow us access to material we currently do not have, and will aid in our communication abilities. To better facilitate our functional communication and daily learning opportunities, we are seeking the assistance of two iPad Minis. Our teacher already has purchased some of the necessary apps for us, but now we need the technology to put them into use. Oh the things we could learn and share with each other if given the tools to do so! Will you help our project? Will you help give us a voice? Will you help us explore technology in our world?

When students' communication needs cannot be met, learning can be very difficult.

Donations toward this project will provide students daily access to technology in which to aid in communication and academic learning. Please help us gain the skills needed to make our voices be heard. Thank you!
