My Project

I have amazing dual-credit students who do everything they can to stay on top of their coursework, but we are often limited by technology. I want to use this device to help me better communicate with students. I have a very old iPad that no longer holds much charge, does not have the capability to multitask, and has a fuzzy camera. I am asking for this device to replace what I currently use.

I am asking for this iPad so that I can better serve students who are trying to join the class from home when they are sick this winter and be more interactive with students during class.

I will also use the camera daily in class to project what we are doing onto the screen for students to see and share material quickly. The iPad will allow me to be more interactive with my students throughout class and not turn my back on them.
