These materials will allow my students to interact with all types of educational stimuli. The ability to put an iPad in student's hands, have them draw out their thinking on a math problem or even to give text evidence for an English question, and have it projected onto the screen to show other students is a powerful thing. These materials will allow for this on a daily basis with my intention always being to give each student the ability to show their thinking with those around them while they try to grapple with the ability to confer with their peers in conversation. The apple pencil is a relatively new tool but will have huge impacts on my students' ability to illustrate their mental images for reading, write out a compound sentence, or draw a model for a division problem. With this tool I hope to do all of this and more, giving my students opportunities to code, do graphic design, or create an educational movie about a topic we are discussing, using the iPad as a tool to further their understanding. I truly hope that you will consider donating to this project as I know that my students will become even more engaged with the ability to actually show their thinking. Their confidence will soar knowing that they can truly depict what they did on a math problem from the comfort of their seat and with the knowledge that their classmates understand what they were trying to say or show.
