My Project
I love how curious and motivated my students are. They come to school eager to explore, ask questions, and learn a new language. Their determination to communicate and connect with the world around them is inspiring. However, learning a new language can be challenging without the right tools. With iPads, my multilingual students will have access to technology that brides the gap between English and their home languages. The interactive visuals and educational apps will help them associate new words with images, making learning more engaging and meaningful. This project will create opportunities for small group instruction, personalized learning, and a more inclusive classroom where every student can thrive.
