I have the awesome privilege of teaching every student that is enrolled in my school. I am the K-5 technology teacher at an elementary school in Arizona.
Our students are always eager to learn new things that will enhance their technology skills.
Our campus encourages leadership among our student body by empowering them to be innovative, creative, and team players.
58% of our students qualify for free or reduced rate lunch. Giving these students the access to classroom projects they would not otherwise be able to experience is so rewarding and exciting. I can't wait to see all their eyes light up if their project is funded!
My Project
My students need a Cricut Maker and Cricut Heat Press! These are awesome technology tools that will allow our students to use software to upload and create their very own designs.
Cricut Design Space software is a free product that students will use to innovate designs.
This software will help me as their technology teacher to meet many of my required teaching standards.
Our wonderful school has a variety of clubs for students to participate in, and each one orders t-shirts to represent their club. I would love for my students to design and make their own school or club t-shirts. This would be made possible with the Cricut Maker and Cricut Heat Press. Using the Cricut Maker, students will be able to cut out their designs out on HTV (heat transfer vinyl) and then use the heat press to apply their design to their shirts.
This would just be the tip of the innovation iceberg, however! The Cricut Maker will also be used by my students to create project display boards, decorative applications, lanyards, hall passes, bags, and thousands of other projects!
