We are a hard-working group of students who attend an urban, public school. Our school is located in a wonderful little neighborhood, however, the students in our class ride the bus from many different areas in the city. My students receive special education services throughout the day. They are a very hard-working group who impress me with their strength and perseverance daily.
The students are in a multiple disabilities classroom and require extra support in many different areas.
This includes occupational, speech and physical therapy in addition to the supports they receive for the general school curriculum. No one in our class lets their challenges get in the way of working hard to reach their full potential!
My Project
By getting two iPads for our classroom, our students would truly gain endless possibilities! There are so many amazing apps that offer everything from learning math, science and reading skills, to things such as basic fine motor skills which is very important for some of the students in my classroom.
Getting new technology resources is not easy for schools in our district, but by gaining just two iPads, it would allow for our students to have a new method to interact with the world and information.
In addition, by getting two iPads, this will allow an opportunity where at least two students could be working together on a similar project. While they would be working together, they would still be able to work in their own way, and I believe that is really important.
