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 to life, as well as engaging students in powerful lessons.
I currently teach at a Pre K-fifth grade school.
Our town is known to be a tight-knit community that works together. Parental support is a priority in our area. Our local school has around five hundred and fifty students. I currently teach all subjects in first grade. I love working with first grade students! My students are eager to learn and work in centers every day.
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. I will use it for powerful art and music lessons, too. It can lead me in terms of "Empowering Students through Art!" I already have ideas how to use it. I just need some to help get an ActivSlate into my classroom now for my students.
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. Would you please consider helping our first grade class receive an ActivSlate tablet?
