Help Us Get an iPad!

Help me give my students an iPad to use with our Dot and Dash robot. Additionally, the camera will help us document activities in the classroom to post on our class story.

My Students

My classroom is a very diverse place. I have students of many different ethnicities, socio-economic statuses, and who have different interests. We love learning about each other and creating a community of active learners. I absolutely love being their teacher!

Occasionally some of my students are wiggle worms!

They enjoy moving around the room, working in groups, and working on the floor. They enjoy anything that gets them out of their seats moving. They are also a social bunch and enjoy projects that involve collaboration.

Like me, my students are intrinsically motivated to use technology. Because of this, I strive to incorporate meaningful technological experiences. I am fortunate to be at a school that encourages the use of technology and supports us in incorporating computer science into our curriculum.

My Project

Our outdated iPad no longer supports many of the apps that we use in class. Please help our class get an updated iPad. This iPad will have multiple uses. First, it will allow us to use our Dot and Dash robots. Students enjoy using these robots to learn coding. Students can code the robots to tell stories, solve mazes, and more. Additionally, the iPad will be used to post images of our learning on our Class Story. My

Students love to share their learning with their parents!

Lastly, we will use apps on the iPad to help differentiate learning.

Please help us get a new iPad!
