iNeed an iPad Mini!

Help me give my students an iPad mini to access technology needed in the classroom.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Bates's classroom raised $546

This project is fully funded

My Students

The students in my biology and Human Anatomy and Physiology classes are a mixture of general ed and special education students. They work together to make sure that every student is included and involved. Most of my students live in a rural area of the county and come from low-income homes.

The students sitting in my classroom make the future a little brighter!

Although many of them face daily obstacles that we could never understand, they come in energetic and ready to learn every day.

My Project

Unfortunately our school is not able to provide our students and teachers with the technology that we need to help us be more successful. Having an iPad mini in our classroom would give us a tremendous advantage by being able to connect to applications that would give us a much needed boost.

I am teaching students virtually and in the classroom at the same time.

Our school has allowed families in our district to learn virtually or attend classes in person.. The iPad mini would benefit both sets of students. I would be able to use to iPad to connect both sets of students together, and also use specific applications to share information with my virtual learners in real time.
