With the Covid-19 being an impact on education this year, I wanted to help out making it easier and tear free for students to use their iPads with more ease. Two classes will be held in person and one class with be held virtual in all grade levels. No matter what setting, class technology is something that will be highly utilized. So why am I doing this/ The story behind it- Last year I witnessed a student spread kindness. This boy sat next to a student who was highly frustrated using technology. He offered the girl to use his stylus, that his family was able to purchase, and when her tears went away, the boy told her she could keep it. If a student is basically giving away a tool that made the process of learning better, I know there had to be other students who felt the same way. This year I would love to fix the issue and spread kindness just like my previous student did. Many work books maybe digital or if we are forced to go digital and do all virtual. I tried to be conscious and developmentally appropriate. K-2 Will get the pencil like stylus and 3-5 will receive more of the standard stylus. Please consider "No Tears....Technology Stylus Here!" and be a superhero to students at Spring Road Elementary. A teacher trying to help every student, every day, in every way. Thank you!
