My Project
A challenge is bringing classroom technological resources to our population to support our Living Environment Unit.
The iPad provides a multi-sensory approach to students' educational needs.
My goal is to ensure every student has sufficient opportunity to create meaningful work using differentiated instruction. As part of our class Living Environment Unit we will take field trips to The Bronx Zoo, New York Botanical Gardens and view varying Greenhouse Gardens across New York City. As many of my students are Special Needs, the iPad will provide the requisite support with colorful visuals to record our visits. The iPad will make the educational process more manageable for students who have varying disabilities, as they can hold it in their hand. The camera provides an added bonus as the students can capture our classroom project in progress. This is an easier approach than navigating with a computer and mouse. An iPad allows us to use new technology and up-to-date resources. Also, the visuals on the iPads provide stimulation and assist with student focus and completion of assigned tasks.
