Our school is a small, rural Pre-K through fifth-grade school with a student population of 246. The students here work hard and seem to always have a positive attitude about school. They enjoy learning new things and being a part of the community here. Being in a rural school makes it difficult for our students to participate in team sports that are offered in the closest town. Many of our students come from low-income homes, and they are faced with difficult situations.
Our students have good hearts, and our faculty and staff strive to give them as many opportunities for success as we possibly can.
Being at school is sometimes their only opportunity to see a different world other than the one that they live in every day.
My Project
This project is for an iPad with a keyboard, charging cart and protective glass so that it won't get cracked. I strongly feel it will help my students to be successful in the general education curriculum. In these classes, it is hard for my students to keep up with note-taking. For example, they can go to the regular education classroom for science and listen to the lesson. Then, go back to the classroom and have it transcribed on the iPad. They will also have it recorded to play back to study. This will cause the student less anxiety and free the child up to listen and learn. Therefore, my students do not have good notes and fall behind in subject areas such as math and science.
This iPad can record the teacher's voice and the student can have it to play back and help study.
It also will transcribe it on the computer. This could make all the difference for my students.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
