My Students

In our science classroom we like to get our hands dirty.

The students in our classroom are ready to get their hands dirty and try stuff on their own.

The students are ready to take control of their education and try things on their own. They want the teachers to relinquish control and stop lecturing information, and rather let the students, themselves, discover information.

My Project

In order for students to become inquirers and take control of their own educations they need some resources. The more resources our classroom can get the more individual time each student can get with it. We are trying to build our classroom set of iPads so each student can get more time with it. Our ultimate goal is to have 6 classroom iPads for things such as research, producing stop motion videos, writing, publishing, the list goes on and on.

Having another iPad will help us get to half of our goal for classroom iPad set.

Students will be able to use the iPads to enhance their understanding of topics. Our classroom iPad set would be shared among their other subjects.
