My Students

My students live in a rural area of Alabama. Our school is a Kindergarten through 4th grade, Title I school, serving around 600 students. About 86% of the students are white, 13% are African American, and 1% is Hispanic. Over half of the students eat free or reduced price lunch. Their parents usually work a great distance from the school. They do not have the opportunity to go a few blocks or miles to their doctor. It is usually a 30-45 mile drive to their pediatrician.

Having an iPad in the nurse's office would be very beneficial in continuing the learning process.

The iPad could be used by a student waiting on their blood sugar to return to a normal level, a student waiting on a parent to pick them up because they are unable to remain at school, to help a child that is suffering from anxiety take a few moments to calm down, or as an educational tool for the nurse herself.

"All students will be healthy, safe, and ready to learn."

My Project

Having an iPad in the nurse's office would be very beneficial in continuing the learning process. My students could engage in an educational app or game. They could also continue curriculum they are learning in the classroom or read a story.

The nurse could have health apps available to teach.

The student could learn about their current health problem. The nurse could also have opportunity to teach prevention of future problems.

The nurse could have broader access to health information. She could access student's health information in the classroom or gym. She could also use search engine to find health information needed to care for someone outside the office.
