Connected Coders: Social Emotional Learning and Technolgy

Help me give my students a fighting chance! Donating an iPad empowers students to learn social-emotional skills through engaging, interactive activities, allows personalized, self-paced learning, boosts motivation, and helps teachers track progress—directly supporting student well-being and academic success.

My Project

Donating something like an iPad be to inner city students helps bridge the digital divide, giving them equal access to technology and learning resources that foster both social-emotional learning (SEL) and digital skills. I-Pads make learning interactive and engaging, support collaboration, and help students develop independence and creativity. These devices also enhance SEL by providing tools for self-expression and emotional regulation, contributing to a positive school climate and better academic outcomes. Access to technology not only helps students to engage and learn about social-emotional wellness, but it also prepares students for future success in a digital world!
