My students are a diverse group of learners, but they do have many things in common! They are all curious, enthusiastic, creative, and love technology! I teach 5th grade English Language Arts at a middle school. I currently have two classes with about 25 per class. I teach in an inclusion classroom, so my students have a broad range in their reading and writing abilities. Each and every one of them have strengths and talents that make them unique.
My students love to use technology as a way to express their creativity and learn about new topics.
Having this Apple TV will help me teach them some of the great ways they can use apps on their iPads to show what they know and then share that with the other students in the classroom.
My Project
Technology is the key to the 21st century and during this time of Covid, it has become even more important than ever before. Students are being required to use technology at home when schools are closed or when they are quarantining. This year, our school district bought each student their own IPad. This is a wonderful initiative, and we are all very excited! However, in order to use the iPads to the fullest, I am in need of a device called an Apple TV.
Having this device in our classroom would allow for lessons and student work to be displayed on the Promethean board by connecting to AirPlay.
AirPlay is a great feature to have when presenting, modeling, creating, or teaching. I want to have the ability to display my IPad screen so that my students can see it and also for my students to share their work or project with each other.
The students can use the Apple Pencil to draw or write without having to use just their finger. They can use this pencil and be very precise -right down to a single pixel on the touchscreen.
