BigMac in the Classroom

Help me give my students an iPad Air for use in the classroom. Through the use of the iPad, my students can experience technology firsthand and create PowerPoint presentations as well as data charts.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

My students can use the iPad to digitally record each other’s presentations as well as create mini films while they work on their STEAM projects. Because the iPad is so user-friendly, I think this would be the best tool for elementary aged students. Through the use of technology my students can become accustomed to using the resources that they will be using in the real world. Students need these real world experiences while they are still in the classroom so that they can learn to overcome the challenges that they will be dealing with on a regular basis.
