The use of technology is a daily activity in my classroom. Two-thirds of students are visual-spatial learners and need differentiated instruction that engages multiple senses. Merge EDU will help my students understand complex science and STEM concepts effectively. We already have the Merge 3D Cubes but lack the proper technology to effectively use them. The devices are incompatible with existing school technology but the software needed to run the cube is too large for most student’s smart phones. By having these ten tablets, students will be able to utilize the Merge3D Cubes and interact with the models, landscapes and virtual field trips. Using the Merge3D Cubes will allow students to interact with virtual models in an augmented reality mode like never before. For Biology, the models allow me to see exactly what they are doing, as well as provide an easy place for them to show and share their work. By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement. Students will be able to simply focus on the academic material at hand, and not whether their materials are going to work or not. Plus in this technology literate world, any interaction with updated technology will increase their literacy as well as their desire to learn and use the new technology!
