Every day we use our Promethean board to work on our daily objectives. We are always eager to do and learn new things.
We have a high percentage of Hispanic students coming to us knowing little or no English.
We are a small school with limited resources and a majority of our donations comes from our Parent Teacher Organization (P.T.O.). We are a small community school. We have a little over 300 students in grades PreK to 5th. We have overcome two hurricanes and floods. We have recently constructed a flood protection system/wall because of those natural disasters. Our Hispanic and migrant worker population is high. A few years ago we were recognized for our positive influence working with these kids. Our school has also been recognized for being one of the highest elementary schools in test scores in our parish. We have great kids who are always eager to learn especially using technology.
My Project
My students will use the Ipads for cooperative groups in all subjects. Our class also has a Promethean board and the Ipads can be used at the same time. So groups work can be shown instantly on the board and students can proofread their work along with others. Our goal is to eventually build up to a classroom set.
I recently received an Ipad and hope to one day have a class set.
I have used this tool to enhance and carry out my daily lessons and for review. This year we have fully implemented our new standards for learning and we are striving to be more rigorous in our lessons and presentations. Our school now has wireless capabilities and using this portable tool is a dream! My kids will not have to leave their desk and will be able to work in small groups.
