Our iPad is Naked, Help Get Him Dressed and Projecting!!!!

My students need an Apple TV digital multimedia receiver and all of the necessary cables and adapters to hook up our iPad to the projector, so that we can use it as a tablet and white board to explore Chemistry!

My Students

Our classroom generously received an iPad but we have no way of using it. We need the necessary cables and adapters in order to hook it up to our projector. The reason that we need an iPad is that our classroom lacks dry erase boards and we only have access to a small chalkboard.

I have a great group of bright students, but we do not have some of the basic materials and board space for a modern science classroom.

We need a space to practice problems, explore the periodic table, write notes, and various other activities that take place in a science classroom. The apps available on the iPad will allow us to do these things and more - once we can get it hooked up! My students are some of the smartest, hardworking, and mature young adults. It is unfortunate that we do not have unlimited resources to make our classroom as modern as possible, but hopefully with your help, we can get the iPad up and running!

My Project

We are requesting various adapters and cables, so that the iPad can be hooked up to the projector in our classroom. Although cables and adapters are not all that exciting, they will help us tremendously in learning chemistry. We are also requesting a stylus to write on the iPad and a case to protect it.

This project is very important to us as we have an amazing tool that can help us, but no way of currently using it.

Once the iPad can be hooked up to a projector, we can use it as a white board, smart board, TV, for various apps, and many many more things! Please help us get our iPad up and running! Thank you for considering our project and for your generosity.
