I am requesting ten a Graphics Drawing tablets which will help my students practice fine motor skills. The use of a drawpad is almost a daily activity especially in writing, drawing, and math. Using the asynchronous model with students, they use the drawpad for guided practice and to record modeled strategies. The drawpads allow me to see exactly what they are doing, as well as provide an easy place for them to show and share their work. Their works is easily uploaded and stored in their work folders. What is a problem is the fact that their fingers are too big for fine details and they are not using any type of writing instrument on their computer devices. By having a drawpad, students will be able to use the drawpad and stylus to focus on their learning and increase their fine motor skills! By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student writing, but these drwpads can be also used for other functions such as painting, drawing and technical drawing. Writing instruments generally have the ordinary requirement to create a smooth, controllable line. and focus, you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement. Students will be able to simply focus on the academic material at hand, and not whether their materials are going to work or not. Plus in this technology literate world, any interaction with updated technology will increase their literacy as well as their desire to learn and use the new technology!
