My Students

I am a proud teacher in the public school system! My students come from diverse backgrounds, but one thing they all have in common, is their love for learning new things. Like many students in the public school system, my students need a learning environment that can meet their diverse learning needs.

I teach a wonderful group of Kindergarteners on the Autism Spectrum that are amazing, unique, and full of joy.

My students all have unique abilities and are technology motivated. Every donation made will make a world of difference in my students' education.

My Project

With all of the new and exciting accessibility features that Apple has put into the iPads, as well as all of the amazing applications out there, iPads will help my students access the curriculum and communicate with their peers and teachers.

My students have a variety of learning differences and the iPads will help them succeed in reading, math, and communication.

Having access to interactive and adapted books on the iPads will help my students learn basic literacy skills. My students will also be able to learn math skills by using the iPads in a variety of ways.

One of the most important things the iPads will do, is help my students have a voice in the classroom. There are many communication apps that help students communicate their wants and needs and having access to iPads in the classroom will help support those needs.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
