Mrs. Odom from Glendale AZ is requesting technology through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Busy Bees Buzzing to use iPads to Excel in Classroom!

My students need iPads in order to easily access the school math and reading programs available to them. The majority of my students do not have this technology available to them at home.

My Students

My students arrive everyday excited to learn. They come ready to investigate, ask questions, and explore the world we live in. I aim to give them that opportunity. Technology provides opportunities for our children to gain the necessary skills, thus preparing them for success in school and their future.

My classroom contains a variety of students, which also includes special needs students, whom also benefits from the tools we can obtain from 'donors choose' program.

These iPads can provide all my students the ability to explore and learn.

My students often do not have the benefits of technology at home. I believe strongly all students should have the opportunity to use modern technology to enhance their skills. My classroom offers a place where these students uses these tools to develop the skills need for their future success in their careers.

My Project

Our school provides online math and reading programs helping students practice and excel in these areas. Many of my students do not have access to technology in order to use many of these programs, which are available to them. These iPads allows my students to work on and improve their abilities in math and reading here at school. The accessibility of these iPads allows my students to work to further achieve their goals in these programs.

Technology improves basic skills critical for them to engage successfully in higher-order thinking and applied learning.

They have a yearning to explore and learn. I aim to giving them that opportunity. Technology further provides opportunities for children to gain the necessary skills set to prepare them for success in school and their future.

Many developmentally appropriate computer programs increases a child’s readiness to learn Reading and Math. Technology provides basic skills in which children must have competency in order to be successful in school; skills critical for children to engage successfully in higher-order thinking and applied learning.
