The TARDIS: Today's Amazing Readers Dream It's a Samsung

My Students

Today's students face a world of technology they too often have very little access to in the classroom. My students would like an opportunity to build their reading and writing skills through the use of tablets that will enhance instruction and learning.

My students represent the 4th and 5th graders at an Oregon charter school.

Here, they have created their own microcosm of the greater society and are working diligently to hone their skills in literacy and other content areas to prepare for careers they are already experiencing. They write and enforce the laws, own and operate their own business ventures and government agencies, and manage their own bank accounts - even the kindergarteners!

My Project

With these tablets, I will be able to address the needs of students who do not process reading and writing instruction through traditional means. With a high population of students receiving special education services, the need for adaptive technology such as these tablets is greater than ever. The availability of educational apps will support students who need additional time, who need alternate presentations of materials, and who may have sensory processing difficulties that prevent them from participating fully in large group activities. It will provide for these students a means to feel more connected to the classroom, while at the same time providing them with critical literacy and technology skills that may not otherwise be met.

Having these tablets in the classroom will help me to better meet the needs of some of the more disadvantaged students in the classroom.

It will allow me to add elements of fun and engaging material to all students in the 4th/5tth grade literacy classroom and provide everyone an equal opportunity to access materials that they may not otherwise have the chance to do.
