Empowering Future Innovators: Enhancing Learning with Updated Technology

Help me give my students six iPads to create 3D prints, stop-motion movies, and documentaries with green screens and iMovie.

My Project

I'm excited to share a plan to bring better tech to our classroom. We want to get six iPads for my 120 students. Right now, we have old iPads from 2006, and while they've been great, it's time for an update. Our students work hard to qualify for my class, and we want to give them the best tools to help them learn. They create 3D prints, stop-motion movies, and documentaries with green screens and iMovie. With new iPads, they can do even more and get ready for college and careers.

Getting these iPads will make a big difference.

With iPads, they can explore new apps and tools, do more in their projects, and be creative in different ways. Our goal is simple: we want to make sure our students have what they need to learn well and be ready for college and jobs. Our students are awesome because they work hard and do their best, even when things are tough. They inspire us every day, and we want to give them the best chance to succeed.

Our students are not only exceptional learners but also resilient individuals who have overcome formidable challenges. Hailing from a Title I district, many of our students face obstacles in their daily lives that are difficult to comprehend. Despite these challenges, they have demonstrated remarkable perseverance and determination, surpassing expectations and achieving above-grade-level success.

Their resilience, tenacity, and unwavering dedication to their education are what truly set them apart. They have worked tirelessly to bridge the opportunity gap, and it is our duty to provide them with the resources and support they need to continue their journey toward excellence.
