I-Pad, I Learn!

My students need an iPad for the classroom because it offers numerous resources for anything you can imagine. There’s an app for just about anything you might desire in your classroom.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

There is no single word to describe how special my students' truly are. I have no children of my own; however, when people ask me how many kids I have, I tell them "26!" I wake up every morning and go home everyday with a smile on my face because of my students, they are so eager to learn new things. With this project, I hope to give them the best learning experience they deserve and provide them with a fun learning environment!

My Project

Visual learning and hands on involvement is very significant at young ages. Having an iPad in the classroom will help motivate my students to use modern technology to learn material that they might be struggling with.

Beyond the immediate benefit of engaging students, iPads can improve education efficiency and standards.

Ipads can help in prompting my most disconnected students to interact in the classroom and have fun while learning.

They easily get distracted and become uninterested with what’s being taught to them. With the presence of iPads in classrooms, students can expect interactive discussions and more engaging learning environment which is more difficult to attain in the traditional academic process.
