iPad to Help Monitor Student Progress

My students need an iPad with a protection plan so I can monitor their progress and provide timely feedback.

My Students

A typical day in my classroom involves trying to motivate students to complete assignments to the best of their ability. Many struggle to see a connection between daily effort and long-term progress.

My students are 7th graders studying U.S.

History. Some people have adopted the slogan "History with a future" to describe the county in which I teach. Many of my students come from blue-collar families who commute for hours to work in the D.C. metro area. Despite best efforts and good intentions, many students lack academic support outside of school.

My Project

Students in my class are highly motivated when they can see that their efforts allow them to achieve at high levels. I'd like to utilize an iPad with specific apps to frequently track, monitor, and display each student's progress to help motivate them.

Research published by Harvard University suggests that students are encouraged by timely feedback, especially if the feedback is represented graphically.

The William and Mary School of Education claims that if students can visualize their progress, they make upwards of 26% improvement. I plan to use an iPad with these applications to provide timely, meaningful feedback and keep my students motivated. Will you please help me?
