Ms. Whitmore from Syracuse NY is requesting computers & tablets through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Historical Podcasts

My students need tablets for research to make history connections to their own community. They need to be able to find digital sources-- articles, videos, photo. After finding these sources create podcasts or videos.

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

These students have experienced lots of turnaround with teachers and administration. We are trying to build a bridge with the community this year.

We have a great administration, and we are in the process of becoming an expeditionary school!

My students are lovable kids that just need more supplies for great project based learning. They are hands on learners and need to create projects in small groups.

Our district is moving in the personalized learning, and in order to do that we need a variety of different resources. All of our kids are on different reading and writing levels, meaning some need more teacher instruction than others. This is where PL comes independent research and technology!

My Project

The Amazon Fire tablets will allow students to personalize their learning. They will have more choice, because the internet will allow for it. I need 10 tablets so classes of 25 or more students can use them in small groups or on solo projects when we are working in a station rotation model.

Students will be using the Amazon Fire tablets on a weekly basis to discover how historical topics relate to their own community.

Each topic studied in the 7th grade social studies curriculum has some kind of a relationship with our city of Syracuse NY.

Students will use the tablet to find that information, and then create a podcast or YouTube video discussing their findings.
