I have 25 amazing 4th-grade students and unfortunately during this crisis are not able to purchase tablets, computers or laptops. These students have already lost four weeks of instruction they have not been able to attain the proper materials to continue. These tablets will allow students to participate in distance learning. It will allow me to participate in video chats with my students and to communicate with my students daily. Every student is different and has diverse needs. I want to support their individual growth while preparing them for their future. Since each student comes to me with their own ability level, I must have tools that allow me to differentiate instruction. Access to 1:1 tablets will provide students with the ability to continue their education and retain the information they have learned. They can be utilized to increase the rigor for those students who are ready to dig deeper or push farther with a concept. Tablets can be used to spark creativity, increase student participation, and promote collaboration among students. These tablets will allow my students to research and present findings, create stories, movie clips, create video book reviews captured in QR codes, and screencasting lessons with their peers. What better way is there to reach all students than to have technology tools that allow student learning to become differentiated and relevant in the 21st Century! This grant would make a huge impact on my current students and many future students who enter my classroom helping them to become 21st Century learners.
