Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

I am a 6th grade math and social skills special education teacher. What I love about my students is they remind me of myself. They come from disadvantaged environments but, possess an aptitude and a willingness to learn. In this community, the Apple Brand is synonymous with success. I would love for my students to experience the things in life they can only read about.

My Project

It is very important for my students access to modern technology in the classroom. I am a middle school math and social skills teacher in a low income area with at risk students. I also provide after school tutoring and my students will benefit tremendously from this iPad proposal directly; as well as my other students. Students who have access to Apple’s cutting technology will be inspired to dream beyond their surroundings. The overwhelming majority of my students receive free breakfast and lunch and do not have access to computers or Internet at home. A laptop of this caliber can provide them with access to educational software, apps, and a myriad of learning sources. Moreover, students will tangibly be able to experience what they can only dream about, which is the latest and greatest Apple product.

Probably the strongest argument for the use of an iPad in the classroom environment is portability to increase student engagement.

I work in a co-taught classroom with students with special needs who receive various accommodations based on their classification. Having an up-to date, name brand tablet creates excitement and all students will desire to join in the fun of learning. Technology can open so many doors, especially for students who don’t normally have access to the Apple Brand, due to financial hardships.

Please help to make this experience a memorable experience for the underrepresented children I serve by approving my request for an iPad.
