Since NYC schools closed in March, my students have been engaging with a variety of programs and technology that have enabled them to keep learning. We have used virtual libraries to continue to have bi-weekly guided reading sessions and continue to enjoy our favorite books, and we have even utilized the audiobooks features on these sites to provide literacy access to all learners. In addition to utilizing incredible programs for live sessions and completing assignments, students have also been engaging with BoomCards, PearDeck, and NearPod. These apps and platforms are very helpful in creating ways for parents to become facilitators of their children's education at home. Since we are starting the year with a blended model, I would love to continue incorporating technology both at home and in the classroom. If I am able to provide individual access at school to the same services students use at home, this will provide much needed consistency, leading to more successful learning experiences. In addition to the academic benefit of these tablets, they will also be very easy to disinfect. Each student will be assigned one tablet while they are in school on one particular week, and they will be sanitized each day. This will help keep our classroom safe and clean, and will help cut down on shared materials. Thank you so much for helping to bridge the gap between learning at school and learning at home with the appropriate technology!
