Project: Charge and Secure our iPads

My students need an iPad charging cart. We need the cart to charge up the iPads and to secure them when they are not in use. Please HELP if you can :)

My Students

The best thing about my classroom is that I keep everything fresh and unpredictable. Outside of my procedures, students are always excited about the lesson and how they will show their mastery. I keep education personalized with strategic grouping and we infuse the curriculum with music and art.

I teach 4th grade at a high poverty community school.

They are excited to be apart of school and one reason is because of the resources available here that they don't have at home. For most of the students school is the only place where they can use the Internet, have an organized environment, and a warm meal for breakfast and lunch. The teachers here LOVE what they do and are in the education profession because of their passion to see others succeed.

My Project

My students will use the cart to charge and secure their iPads. My class was blessed to receive iPads for each student but we are in need of a cart. The cart will also allow us to transport the iPads to another class or room if needed. It's important to secure the iPads because each one is worth $500.00

Your donation will help kick start the 21st century personalized learning in my classroom.

My students will use the iPads to create presentations derived from research, communicate with email, connect with other students via video chat, create videos that demonstrates mastery of the 4th grade curriculum, and to access millions of electronic books already purchased by our district. Thank you for helping my students!
