My Project
I’m requesting an Apple iPad, Magic Keyboard, and Apple Pencil to support my growth as a teacher. These tools will help me participate in online professional development, access up-to-date teaching strategies, and stay organized with lesson planning—all in one portable device.
With this technology, I’ll be able to watch training videos, take online courses, and explore new teaching methods from trusted education platforms.
I’ll use the Apple Pencil to take notes, highlight key ideas, and plan engaging lessons. The keyboard will help me write reflections, create resources, and stay connected with other educators. These tools will help me grow professionally and bring better instruction to my students.
By investing in my learning, you’re also investing in my students. This technology will help me bring fresh, effective strategies into the classroom and model lifelong learning. Thank you for supporting my journey as an educator!
