My Project

Students will be able to create innovative projects, communicate and collaborate with other students and teachers, and practice their critical thinking skills with access to a set of iPads in the class. iPads support creative learning through apps such as Seesaw, Chatterpix and Stop Motion. Students will also be able to develop coding skills with Scratch Jr. The possibilities are endless! Currently, our K-2nd grade students are often consumers of technology, participating in skills based learning games. I would like to expand their technology skills to become creative producers of projects they can share with others and be proud of!

Having access to iPads will move student technology use from a substitution model towards modification and redefinition of student learning.

Students will be able to comfortably using a tablet as a tool for learning everyday just as they use a pencil and paper everyday.
