My Students

Research shows that IPADS used with children in special education classrooms are proving to be productive. The children are responding to the IPAD and apps in a remarkable way. Without a doubt, an IPAD would benefit our special education classroom!

I am currently a special education teacher at an elementary school with more than 500 students from Pre K through 5th grade.

Currently, I am working with students in several grade levels in classroom settings and in my own classroom. I love my students and bringing out the best in them.

My Project

In my line of work as a special education teacher, I am always working to enrich lessons for my students. My students love technology tools and resources. With an IPAD in my classroom, this would allow all students under my wing to experience the interactivity of an IPAD and apps. I could use the IPAD and apps in centers, as well as in whole groups connected to my projector. Having an IPAD, a cover for it, stylus pens and adapters could truly help us out. I could use one adapter in my classroom. I plan to bring my IPAD with me to classrooms as well. The 2nd adapter would allow me to use my IPAD in other classrooms.

I feel this opportunity to gain an IPAD could benefit my students.

Together you and I have an opportunity to help my students experience something new, positive and productive. An IPAD, cover, stylus pens and adapters could really help our class. Your consideration would deeply be appreciated!
