My Project
I teach a special education life skills class and my wonderful students all have various special needs. They are incredible young adults with intellectual disabilities who have challenges with communication, behavior, and social skills.
My students love learning and giving them different learning opportunities where they feel successful is so important.
This is my first year in this setting. I am still working to gather appropriate digital and hands on learning task cards that students can use independently to demonstrate their skills.
My students also love using computers and iPads. We are always looking for new ways to use them in the classroom. Teaching them how to access technology is so important with the increase of digital learning opportunities. We are lucky enough to have iPads to use in the classroom. Right now, we do not have enough headphones to use with the iPads. Investing in quality headphones will allow my students to use technology for learning and leisure without disturbing other students.
My students use the iPads to do digital learning including task cards on Boom Learning. There are many age appropriate digital and printable tasks cards available on Teachers Pay Teachers. The gift card will allow me to make more of those available for my students. I will use the laminator and pouches to make printable resources sturdy enough to last for many years. The storage box is used to organize the task cards and the hooks will be used to store the headphones.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
