Creative Presentation Tools

My students need a MacBook, headphones, stylus pens, lamps, and photo booth mask, boas, and props to help make learning fun.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Fairchild's classroom raised $1,945

This project is fully funded

My Students

Creativity and imagination go hand in hand in our learning environment.

My students are part of a true 21st century learning experience.

Our class is a 1:1 iPad program. Each child has an iPad checked out for the school year, and lessons are presented in a digital format. This helps my students learn in a fast paced and creative environment.

My Project

My students will use the supplies from this project to fuel their creative minds and enrich their learning. We have iPads available for each child but they are limited when it comes to flash applications. The MacBook will allow my students to access additional productivity tools that are not available on our current devices. The headphones and stylus pens will be added to our class supplies for students to use as needed while working on the projects. Floor lamps will be used along with the energy efficient bulbs to create better lighting while working with the tablets. The vga cable, masks, mustache props, boas, hats, and assorted photo booth props will be used along with a green screen and recording supplies we currently have to allow students to express individual creative style in their presentations.

The MacBook, headphones, stylus pens, vga cable, floor lamps, light bulbs, and photo booth mask and props will be used in our classroom daily to create fun and engaging learning opportunities.
