Help My Students To Get Multiple iPads For Earth Science!
Help me give my students multipurpose iPad tablets that can be utilized as an interactive tool to provide multiple entry points and activities which can be completed by students of all different skill levels and learning styles.
I teach Earth and Environmental Science courses at an urban, inner city performing arts high school. Everyday I strive to teach not only the required curriculum, but the real-world connections and data needed to fully explain these science subjects to artistically inclined students. My goal is not just to have my students excel in the classroom, but to develop into knowledgeable citizens ready to make an influential impact on the world.
Textbooks in earth and environmental sciences are grossly outdated.
In order for students to completely understand complex, cutting edge information involving these topics, they need access to real-time data and research via the world wide web, etc.
My Project
With iPads, I will be able to provide opportunities, multiple entry points and activities which can be completed by students of all different skill levels and learning styles. In addition, this device will be utilized as an interactive tool (smart-board feature) in all classrooms and laboratory rooms. Students tend to enjoy the active learning style and perform extremely well on assessments given to them. I will also be able to engage my students with multi-media experiences which is extremely appealing to the social media generation. This opportunity given to my students will engage them mentally and physically throughout. Finally, I will be able to reach my students in an entirely different way instead of just projecting the material by the use of the chalk board.
