Independent Learners in Kindergarten!

Help me give my students an I Pad for learning. Our school provides android tablets, but they are so difficult for them to use and hardly ever work properly!

My Project

I am raising money for an apple iPad to create an easy to use technology station in my classroom. Having an iPad would be so helpful for my students. I've chosen the 10.9 inch iPad as its the biggest one they offer, and I feel like the size would be good for my students.

Technology is the future!

My goal is get one every year until I have at least 4 so they can easily be used by students during stations. Their android tablets are so confusing and hardly ever work for them. By the time I get them logged in, the station time is almost over. I let them use my personal MacBook during stations but its just not enough for the stations to run somewhat smoothly.

I am hopeful that adding at least 1 iPad will help give the students some independence in logging in. During RTI time I have at least 6-10 kids daily whose tablets are frozen, doing windows updates, or simply just won't turn on! It is very frustrating trying to help 22 5/6 year olds fix their tablets/log onto their tablets at once. My dream is that by having this iPad, it will allow students the independence of logging on during stations and doing an assignment on Clever.
