My Students

The eagerness of my students to learn is definitely amazing. They are like little sponges, soaking up as much as they can. They truly want to learn something each day, which, often times, means overcoming learning disabilities, language barriers, and/or socio-economic disadvantages. Watching them do so is inspiring. They have an energy and outlook on life that is so positive that it is contagious. Given the appropriate resources, they can engage in active, digital, and student-led learning to achieve mastery!

My Project

Being a Social Studies/History teacher, I would love for my students to digitally explore the civilizations/places we learn about with this iPad. Help them become 21st century learners! Although I teach Social Studies, I try to incorporate technology into my instruction as much as possible. It engages my students much more than any other resource. For example, it is much more impactful for students to explore Earth’s major landforms via Google Earth, rather than them just seeing a picture, reading a description, etc. While I use technology to teach Social Studies content, I also integrate lessons on how to use digital tools, such as search engines, digital platforms, etc. These are lifelong skills that my students can use throughout school and beyond. While my school does have some student devices, they are shared between many students and teachers. Therefore, an iPad for my classroom specifically would open up the possibilities for my students to not only learn content in an engaging way, but to become digital, lifelong learners.
