My Students

Help my students increase their technology use in the classroom!

My students come from a range of different socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds.

Some students have access to a variety of technological tools at home and some do not even own a computer. All of my students are energetic and eager to learn. They can all benefit from having these important tools in the classroom.

My Project

The iPad minis will be used daily in our classroom. Students will use them in our Daily 5 literacy block to work on letter/sound relationships, sight word recognition, reading books, and creating digital stories. In math, they will be used to practice basic math facts and develop important problem solving skills. The iPad minis will be used for small group activities, whole class lessons, and individual instruction. The wide range of applications and programs available for the iPads will help tailor instruction to meet the needs of the diverse learners in my classroom.

Your donation will allow my students to have access to technology that will enhance and enrich their learning.

These iPads will help give all of my students the daily opportunity to learn and practice necessary skills in a fun and engaging way. Thank you for considering my project!
