Providing students who come from a background of low income and poverty need access to new technology and hands on engaging learning. We are requesting 18 touch screen tablets and cases as a way to enhance instructional strategies in the classroom to provide additional resources to their learning experience. Over the past few years, curriculum has become rigorous and students are required to master the standards by the end of the year. I am hoping to not just use the tablets throughout the day during instruction, but to also use them to track individual student progress and growth. Our schools theme is Dream Big. Technology in the 21st century is crucial to our students success and supports foundational skills to prepare them for their future. The real power of technology in the classroom is that it allows us to learn in ways that aren’t otherwise possible or practical. Some programs that the tablets will support in the classroom include MobyMax, iReady, Padlet, Kahoot, Nearpod, and FAST Math just to name a few. These programs support our students that need additional support, practice or enrich to a specific content area or topic. These tablets will also serve as a big part to our Science curriculum as we complete research for STEM and inquiry projects. The donations to our project will support all subject areas and will help to increase motivation within our students to learn and discover using technology. Providing students with individual tablets will better provide me with the understanding of student level of achievement so that I can better support my struggling students as well as my students who need to be challenged.
