Imagine what it would be like to be a in a school where most of the students & teachers speak a different language than you do - where most everything is foreign to you! Help me bring the World into my classroom - iPads will allow my students to deepen and share their learning experiences. Education research shows students acquire language when the curriculum is made comprehensible for them. My classroom would truly be a better place if I could help my students access challenging curriculum with the use of iPads. Each school day I teach twenty-five English Language Learners in a culturally sensitive laboratory style classroom. My students visit me in groups for approximately 1-2 hours per day. Our learning time together is very rigorous - we have a lot of work to do with very little time and resources available. I am requesting 4 iPads to help me enhance the learning environment in my classroom so that I can help them catch up to their native English speaking peers as quickly as possible. I am requesting covers to protect the iPads from getting damaged so we will have the use of them for a very long time.
