My Students

The children in my class are part of an urban school that consists of a very diverse population of economically and socially challenged children. I have served many classes of children and the needs are consistent with the children that I teach. With the lack of effective and efficient materials, it poses a gap and lessens the ability to close and engage children for a good educational experience to reach their potential.

I want to be able to meet the needs of my children as efficient and accurate as possible.

My Project

In this vast growing age of technology, where we still find deficits in quality technology and limited access for learning. I want to give my students the best that I can and open the barriers to provide a good source of technology awareness.

Our class needs accessibility to technology in large and small group instructional settings.

By having a tablet that I can use to access my children ongoing and provide creative and exciting learning that will help to bring learning and open the world of learning to my children.
