Mrs. Matthees from Brooklyn MS is requesting computers & tablets through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Exploring & Learning Through a Digital World!

Help me give my students access to technology to use during small group time.

  • This project is not currently eligible for funding.
  • $2,224 goal

My Project

I am requesting 5 iPads and 5 cases to help enhance student learning during small group time. These iPads will be used during centers where students will be able to research animals (we love using pebble go) or access digital libraries (like Epic!). Students will also be able to use the iPads for STEAM projects such as intro to coding and designing Engineering projects.

Having this technology in the classroom will allow students to access a world beyond their classroom.

The biggest thing I try to foster is the classroom is a sense of curiosity. I try to stimulate their curiosity with books and items in the classroom but having iPads will allow for students to dive into kid friendly research sites and new books to explore even more.
