My students are hard working, inspired, and hungry to be the best they can be. However, they often don't have access to quality technology. These students are technology native, they have never known a world that doesn't ave the internet, fast computers, and information readily available. But they lack the hardware to engage with this powerful tool. The iPads provide a texture and richness to how students can engage with content in a contemporary way. The tablets can be used to: learn mathematical concepts, test a scientific hypothesis, research projects, write, read books, and create art. The tablets can be useful tool to help differentiate for a wider variety of student needs. My project will make a difference because, as I said before, these students are the digital natives. Our classrooms are not yet at the level technologically to meet their needs as learners. This grant will help to close that gap just a little bit more.
