Adapting to New iPads

Help me give my students more durable iPad cases and headphone jack adapters for newer iPads.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Russo's classroom raised $191

My Project

My students are a diverse group of students. Some are English learners and many have special needs. For many of my students, kindergarten is their very first school experience.

Last year, our class was lucky enough to receive some new iPads.

However, we ran into some trouble.

I was super excited to get our new iPads into my students hands until I realized there are NO HEADPHONE JACKS! Due to the ever changing technology and design of Apple products, we were now left with a bunch of iPads that could not be used for centers because we couldn’t plug in our headphones! YIKES! I was able to supplement with some adapters I could get my hands on, but we need a few more to get all our iPads to work. Not only that, but I soon realized the cases I had ordered were not strong enough for the rough handling of Kindergarteners. Therefore, new cases are a must! The folio cases I had ordered had no screen protection and were very flimsy and definitely could not take a fall or even a bump of any kind.

Please help us so we can adapt to the new iPad changes and better protect our devices!
