My students are the most delightful group of children a teacher could be blessed to teach. My over-crowded school is located in a corner of The Bronx. They are inner-city kids, which must overcome many disadvantages in pursuing their education. The students are awesome, eager, and hardworking children who are struggling learners. A large portion of these students are English Language Learners as well as Special Needs students.
My special students really just simply need extra support with their studies.
My Project
Imagine a nine year old who is still having difficulty holding a pencil and therefore needs practice writing. The stylus pen, that feels just like a normal pen/pencil when writing, would make practicing handwriting sheer joy. Or perhaps a ten year old who can use the tablet to listen to letter sounds ( It still happens at this age). The tablet would benefit my students in multiple ways. They can be recorded reading a story, go on the Internet and use education websites or even use the tablet to take notes. Also, being able to connect a type cover turns the tablet into a laptop computer. Sometimes a child needs the traditional approach.
Technology has completely taken over our educational system, if not our society.
My students need to build confidence in themselves as readers and writers using a Micro-Soft Pro 4. Thank you for your consideration.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
