My Students
Help invite my students to the opportunity to learn and connect with technology in the classroom.
Our urban school is in a high poverty area and serves many low income families and students who are English language learners.
The majority of my students come from low socioeconomic backgrounds and 85% of them qualify for free/reduced price school lunch. My energetic, diverse class of represent a plethora of cultures and linguistic backgrounds. My students are Latino, Arabic, Burmese, Chinese, Vietnamese, Indian, African American, Filipino/Japanese/Caucasian, and Samoan.
My Project
With the technology of a new iPad with a protective case and headphone splitter, my students are invited into limitless learning possibilities. To maximize the educational potential, I envision the iPad being used in a center group activity, where a group of four to five students can learn from a specific phonics activity, such as learning letter sounds, practicing phonemic awareness skills like blending and segmenting sounds, and learning rhyming words. For literacy time, students can listen to a story that matches their current reading level. For math, we are learning about counting, number sense, addition and subtraction. For individual students who have specific learning challenges, the iPad can aid with fine motor skills with games and applications that incorporate multiple learning modalities.
My students will be invigorated to learn from this new engaging technological tool.
It gives opportunities to maximize learning in small groups. Students will learn phonics, math, and science, and they will be able to listen to or read stories within their reading levels. Students who need extra guidance will develop fine motor skills. The iPad will help with learning letters for students who need multiple modalities to learn successfully. Imagine the joys of learning from technology in a Kindergarten classroom!
