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

My students are lovable 8th graders in an inner city middle school. The students at my school comes from an areas in which they have known each other for a long time.

In general, my students are eager to learn and enjoy experimenting with technology.

They enjoy working together and having fun while learning. However, one area that my students needs improvement in is digital literacy. My goal is to change that.

My Project

Before the pandemic, my school was 1:1 with IPAD technology and if class was given an IPAD cart to store and charge the IPADs daily. During the pandemic, the students was given the opportunity to take their IPADs home to help them be successful during remote learning. However, many students returned this school year without the chargers and/or comes to school regularly without their device being charged. Since the IPADs are used daily for instruction, I’m asking for charging cable to put in my IPAD cart so I can ensure that my students have a charged IPAD to use in class.
