My Project

I teach an incredible group of students who are curious, energetic, and eager to explore the world around them—especially through science. They thrive when learning is hands-on, visual, and connected to the real world. My students come from diverse backgrounds and bring unique perspectives to the classroom, which enriches our learning community. What they all share is a genuine excitement for discovery. I want to foster that excitement by giving them access to the technology they need to deepen their understanding of biology and the scientific process.

With the Apple iMac and iPads, my students will be able to bring their biology lessons to life.

These tools will allow them to conduct virtual labs, create digital models, research real-world science problems, and collaborate on multimedia presentations. The iMac’s powerful processing and screen size make it perfect for analyzing data, designing visuals, and using science-based applications. The iPads will give students the mobility to take their learning beyond the desk—whether it's using augmented reality to explore cell structures or capturing photos and videos during outdoor science investigations. This technology will not only enhance their science skills, but also help them build digital literacy for the future.

My goal is to create a classroom where science and technology go hand-in-hand—where students can investigate, innovate, and express their understanding in creative, meaningful ways. These tools will support differentiated learning and help every student, no matter their learning style, succeed in biology. What makes my students special is their determination to learn, their resilience, and their belief that science can help them make a difference in the world. This project will give them the tools to do just that.
