My Students

Special Education students are difficult to keep motivated, these groups of students come from a variety of back grounds from military kids to minorities to underprivileged and native Hawaiians. Many of their difficulties leave them struggling to keep up with their peers.

Finding ways to motivate them and keep them motivated will greatly improve their learning and their futures.

Even though their progress may be slow, they work hard for it and should be very proud of what they accomplish given their disabilities. They deserve to have a great reward for their work.

My Project

Since returning to in-class learning due to the pandemic/COVID-19, we were able to provide each student a device, and internet access, if needed. So my goal is to utilize technology to give my special education students some fun and entertaining rewards on a separate device with special apps and programs as their reward for working hard and accomplishing their goals.

Last year the teachers and students had to quickly adapt to online teaching and learning with barely any time for training.

We all did the best we could, there are a bunch of fun online materials I was able to find and would like to set up for them this year.

With the help of a separate computer, I will be able to have a separate device with apps and programs on there as rewards for my hard working struggling students.
