My Students

Conrad Hall stated "You are always a student, never a master. You have to keep moving forward." I truly believe that. We need to constantly evolve. This ActivSlate device would be new to me but, I am willing to learn along with my students. With it, I know I could truly create powerful lessons.

As both a parent and a teacher, I feel like I play a huge role in the lives of children.

My 3rd grade class is composed of 26 eager minds. We are honored to be residents of a small community where the parents are involved and concerned about the progress of their children. We work closely together to provide a positive learning experience both at school and home. In the past 20 years, I have seen the impact that technology has played in our classrooms. We no longer have blackboards, the majority of our lessons are taught using a Promethean board. I now need an ActivSlate for academic and creative lessons with my students.

My Project

First of all, you may want the answer to the question, what is an ActivSlate? It is a wireless tablet that offers the same interactive function as a Promethean Board, but has the advantage of freedom of movement. I know I would need to learn more about this tool to begin this journey. I do have a Promethean Board, but could use an ACTIVSLATE 60 tablet to seamlessly integrate lessons with ActivInspire, the hub and charger for great lessons.. In speaking with others and researching this device, I see the potential in helping students with it. Their site states, "ActivSlate makes dynamic, interactive classroom experiences everyday occurrences by giving anyone who wishes to participate control of the ActivBoard from anywhere in the ActivClassroom. A wireless, fully integrated, notebook-sized tablet, ActivSlate uses the same ActivPens as the ActivBoard and is light enough to be carried into any discussion." It would help me with creative lessons by Empowering Students Through Art, as well.

Conrad Hall stated "You are always a student, never a master.

You have to keep moving forward." There is so much truth to that statement! At this point, I am ready to move forward and learn more about ActivSlates along with my students. I've read powerful reviews about them. Technology is crucial at our school. My plan is to bring more interactivity to my students through this ActivSlate and accessories. Would you consider funding this technology project for my wonderful 3rd graders?
