"We are changing the world with technology." -Bill Gates
I was so lucky to loop this year with my AWESOME first graders.
This group of children are hard working, energetic, enthusiastic learners. We are in a Title 1 school, which means that we are a high poverty school with a majority of our students receiving free or reduced lunch. Many of our students are English Language Learners and come from very diverse backgrounds.
My Project
My first grade students need an iPad to be able to build their technology skills, practice their basic math skills (counting, addition, and subtraction), and foundational reading skills by using educational apps to enhance and extend their learning- meeting them at their current level and helping them to excel. I have also requested basic classroom supplies for my students. We will use them in everyday activities to increase hands on learning. We will use the books to increase fluency.
I hope that my students can learn more from technology and about technology to help them become competitive in this ever changing world.
I also want them to see all the opportunities that technology has to offer, and not just about playing video games or linking to social media. I want them to be able to learn all the many things technology has to offer.
