I am requesting headphones to personalize my students' learning and four tablets with cases which will help our language learners. Tablets can be a gateway for my students who are trying their very hardest. Many students missed learning due to the pandemic, and headphones and tablets can help students complete unfinished learning. Additionally, language learners can use tablets to read along with our books in other languages, as well as provide access to materials and work in their home language. Virtual learning was particularly hard for low income and dual language students. I hope to set my students up for success next year and beyond by incorporating technology skills, tools, and technology and media literacy into our lessons. Adding another facet to the classroom beyond direct instruction can help capture every student.
