My Students

We live in a fast paced society and as educators we need to keep up with new teaching strategies and technology. That is what my classroom looks like when you walk in. My students are either working on a STEM activity, or using their iPads to complete interactive activities.

My students are a great group of eager learners.

We are a rural Title I school. My students face many challenges when they are away from school and for many of them coming to school is the highlight of their days. This year we have been blessed for our school district to move to One-to-One iPad implementation. This new technology has been a great asset to our classroom. Many of my students do not have access to these types of devices outside of school. This new technology in our classroom has made a huge difference in how students are involved, engaged, and motivated during lessons. These devices have served as a great tool for students to complete homework and study on their own using many different applications.

My Project

How can we take our one-to-one iPad implementation to the next level? We can make our work come alive on our STAGE! This Apple iPad mini 4 tablet with a Belkin Tablet Stage Stand will allow us to use our iPads as a document camera and project items to our interactive board. The possibilities are endless with this tool....demonstrations with manipulatives, peer editing and sharing of student work, teacher modeling, interacting with different texts, and other activities that wouldn't allow for students to see as a class. This Stage Stand will be used by teacher and students with different types of iPad devices (iPad, iPad mini, and iPod). The iPad mini would be beneficial as a modeling tool.

Your donation will help our class be able to participate in our learning together.

Thank you for helping us create our own STAGE and utilize the technology that we already have in our classroom even better by using our iPads as a document camera!
