We incorporate a variety of learning strategies, partner work, flexible seating and learning options to ensure that each student's needs (academically, socially, and emotionally) are being met while using technology. My classroom's priority is to ensure that each student's level is approached with multiple and differentiated instruction, right where they are! These special students all have significant disabilities in which it is necessary to make learning fun and engaging. The families, of the students I serve, struggle financially, so this technology will allow them to use the newest and greatest technology to enhance their learning. They beam with joy as they proudly learn new skills that will carry them the rest of the lives. They love to learn! The unfortunate thing about teaching in a school with the majority of the students being from a low socio-economic background, is also why it is important that I use the technology in my class. Very few of our students have computers, smartphones or iPads at home. Therefore, the excitement and wonder of bringing a tablet into my classroom is going to be priceless. Our school and Parish flooded in 2016, which continues to put a financial burden on the families, staff, and school; the entire Parish. My students are very excited about adding this technology to our learning day. I'm very passionate about being able to expose and teach my students about technology that many (more privileged) students may take for granted, being exposed to this technology daily. Leveling the playing field helps keep my kids from losing out on experiences and learning that otherwise may not have any experience with.
