Why does every teacher seem to be asking for an iPad? Teachers ask for iPads because the students are very motivated by them, and the possibilities for integrating iPads in the classroom are endless.
My 4th grade students come from a rural, Missouri school district with a high poverty rate and many mixed ethnic backgrounds.Our school has over 200 students from Pre-K to 5th grade.
My students are witty and intelligent with limited financial means. Many do not even have computers, much less iPads at home.
My Project
I am requesting one iPad and one keyboard case for educational use in my classroom. I have found the use of iPads to be beneficial for all students. I would like to use this iPad for remediation, continued practice, and extension activities. Students will be able to create and present projects, take photos and videos, read, complete research, and participate in math activities. Students will learn valuable skills for use in future educational settings and even future career settings.
Funding this project will allow you to change the lives of my fourth graders.
You will give them the opportunity to experience their education in new and exciting ways. Help make learning more meaningful to my students by offering them another opportunity that otherwise they would not have a chance to experience!
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
