I teach a spirited bunch of sprightly sprats who are in recovery from the horrid Hurricane Harvey.
My students are inquisitive, energetic and eclectic learners.
Pre-existing lower income and socio-economic demographics are considerably aggravated by the floodwaters of natural disaster. Nevertheless, on their first day returning to school, students were eager to learn and divest themselves of previous woes. This funding opportunity will help replace some supplies and bolster their equitable access to education that connects them to a global community of learners.
As a social studies teacher, I merely seek resources to support students in such a direction to diverse the learning process and opportunities.
My Project
My students know what a globe is, and they know how to spin one on its axis. However, they need a globe to challenge and grow their intellect and engage them beyond spinning without winning. The Intelliglobe presents information about continents, countries, and cities while incorporating facts from history to pop culture to help the students connect around the globe. Furthermore, the intelligent device allows for comparative analysis, and differing levels of mastery so that students grow to glow at whatever level they are at. Further features include:
-20 Touch & Explore features
-3 Compare features
-Current time & time in various places around the world
