My classroom is full of hands-on, eager, and energetic second-grade learners! Every day we engage in learning tasks that challenge my students and create a powerful love of learning in all subject areas. We want to enhance our learning with new technology that will allow us to succeed!
Although money is tight and the curriculum is somewhat lacking, all of my students are eager to learn and try new things especially through the use of technology at their fingertips!
My Project
Having iPads will help with their skills in: technology, listening, English, reading, and math. They will be used in small groups and centers. This is important because many of them are learning English and there are many apps that can assist them in the process of learning the language. Not only are many of them ELLs, but a significant amount of the class is below grade level in some subject areas. This could allow them to have more time in the subjects they need in a more exciting and efficient way.
Also, my school is currently using the reading comprehension app, Lexia.
This program is designed to help struggling readers improve their reading and comprehension skills. Each student is supposed to reach a goal of a certain number of minutes per week on Lexia. Currently, each grade level is sharing 10 iPads. That means there are approximately 200 children sharing 10 iPads. This makes it difficult for students to access Lexia on a daily basis, especially students that don't have access to computers and tablets at home.
