My sixth grade students are digital learners. They need to be engaged in their learning. The current tools for learning, paper, pencil, and text books, are not producing 21st century learners. I need technology to help the students think, create, evaluate, analyze, and apply. I have 55 students in Abita Springs, LA. Title 1 technology funds are used only for our fourth and fifth grade students, by law. Many students have little or no access to technology outside of school. These students are dependent upon school to provide them with the skills that they will need to be effective in the future workforce. This is a workforce that will look much different than our workforce of today. My students need to be familiar with technology that allows them to email, text, blog, create wiki pages, create podcasts, and create digital stories. An iPod Touch easily allows students to engage in these activities.
