This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
GAP students are fired up to learn! Last year, we received iPads for our program and now we are in need of keyboards for student technology and writing projects. Your help can make the difference in our students' educational experience!
I teach in a Title I school that is located in a rural community.
Our school serves the educational needs of over 636 students in grades K-6. The Gowan Achievement Program (GAP) consists of 108 4th-6th grade students. They have high achievement scores and are highly motivated to dig in and learn to be life-long learners.
My Project
We are using technology in a variety of ways to help guide the students on a journey of being life-long learners. In my ELA class, annotating text and drafting essays involves a great deal of typing which would be expedited with the use of keyboards. My vision for these keyboards is to provide them as an option for the students who have the greatest difficulties, thus the greatest need, of having a keyboard to assist them with their word processing.
Some of my students have limited access to computers at home.
Entering information on the iPad is a learning process. The process of using the keyboard on their device is slow and awkward for many. The external keyboards will help alleviate the frustrations of my students and improve their word processing skills at a faster rate.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
