My Students

I love my new school. The kids are fantastic! Everyone is always willing to lend a helping hand! My students are very competitive and eager to learn! Part of being able to teach kids in this day and age is catching and keeping their attention through the use of technology. The other part of teaching my students is being able to share the material in a quick and efficient manner. I feel like this project will help me accomplish both of those challenges.

My Project

This iPad will help my classroom so much because during the lesson I can write straight on the iPad and it shows up on the board. I will be able to walk around the classroom and be closer to the students. It will also allow the students to use it to work out examples for the class at their desk instead of standing in front of the classroom with all eyes on them. It will give even the shyest students a chance to participate. It will even make those kids that don’t usually participate want to participate so they can use the technology.
