More iPads and Headphones for Mrs. Nichols' Class Please!

My students need more iPads. My students need cases to protect the iPads. My students need headphones to go with their iPads.

My Students

My classroom is a place where students learn to love reading. My goal for all of my students is to develop a love of reading that will last through adulthood. I try to make sure there is access to texts through both regular printed books, magazines, and newspapers as well as electronically.

My students are awesome!

They are hardworking, cooperative and respectful. Our school is a newer school with a strong community relationship. Our parents are incredibly supportive and create fun events for our families in the evenings and on the weekends.

My Project

We will be using the iPads for Moby Max, reading ebooks and creating interactive projects. Moby Max is an awesome online resource that my district has purchased for my students to use that is customized to students' needs. We also study book series and often have a hard time finding enough hard copies of a book. With the iPads we will have better access to a variety of books. I have also requested an external DVD drive because our new computers do not have one. We occasionally show DVDs to the students and I would like a means of doing so.

We did a Donor's Choose Project last quarter and got three iPads with cases and they have made a huge difference.

Students have more access to online resources throughout the day. Plus students who have been reluctant readers have shown more interest. With more iPads, more students will have an opportunity to use these online resources as well as develop a deeper love for reading.
