Apple for Amazing 5th Graders!

My students need an iPad Air with case to gain the knowledge needed to succeed in today's world of technology.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Doherty's classroom raised $555

My Students

A typical day in my classroom involves small group work. My collaborative group has difficulty using technology because one of the other groups is using the other computers in our classroom. An iPad would go a long way to help my students share what they are learning.

I teach at a Title I school.

This means the majority of our school has free or reduced lunch. Many students do not have the technological resources needed to extend and enrich their learning experiences. I have some ESE as well as ESL students in my classroom. We are a culturally diverse school with students from many different backgrounds.

My Project

I plan on using this iPad during small group time. I would like my students to work together on different projects and activities. The students will share what they have learned with each other. I also plan on using the laptop during whole group lessons with ESL students who are still learning our language. This will make the translation easier for my students.

My project will make a huge difference because we live in a technologically enriched world.

Technology helps to make learning more interesting which will help to keep my students engaged. If students are given the tools needed to succeed they will succeed.
