Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

My students want to bring their tablets to school everyday. So, why not provide it for them in the classroom! My students love to read chapter books. However, with the use of ipads my students will be able to create their own books about science, poetry, and different genres they love!

My students are second graders at a charter school in Philadelphia.

They are students who always follow our school motto "Work Hard and Be Nice." My students love thinking outside the box with hands-on activities in partners and groups. My school is a "learning sanctuary." Our curriculum is intense and follows the common core to promote higher level thinking to our students. With the use of technology, my students will be provided with opportunities to participate in projects that they will remember for a lifetime.

My Project

What can iPads do for my students? *Blogging with each other and other students across the world *Creating their own books *Recording movies from books they have read *Creating maps of their thinking *Chatting about a text on Today's Meet *Creating their own clipart to use in a paper or digital book *Practicing skills they have learned in all subject areas *Create a math or literacy station There are so many more options that can be discovered with a little bit of creativity and love for learning with technology.

Your donations will improve my classroom by giving my students the opportunity to learn differently.

Worksheets are a thing of the past. What I discover with the use of these iPads will be shared with colleagues through professional development. I would love for my school to become a model for effective use of technology. IPads will change my students' lives by showing them that learning is fun, when you discover your ability and learn through others and resources throughout the world.
