Help me give my students iPads so they have internet access to enhance their learning experience in all subject areas including reading, science, math, and social studies.
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
My students range from age 4 to 12. They are the most caring, respectful, busy, smart, funny, inquisitive bunch of kids. They keep me on my toes daily. Most of my students reside in the public housing development that borders our school. An increasing amount of students reside in homeless shelters or other temporary housing. We also have a large population of students who are new to the country.
They come to us with many different needs and challenges.
I see most of the students in the school, including students who have physical and learning disabilities. All students are encouraged to learn and are held to the same standard, I just have to reach them in many different ways.
One thing they all have in common is that they love coming into the Computer Lab! I try to incorporate all subject areas and collaborate with classroom teachers so the children stay excited while learning.
My Project
The I-Pads included in this project will be used by all students from pre-kindergarten to fifth grade. Most of my students have no computers or tablets in their homes so they have very little experience using technology. Being able to use technology will help them prepare for high school, college or any career that they may be interested in. All students are first taught the basics of how to use tablets and internet safety.
Every grade will use the I-pads to support their learning and address their needs.
All students will be introduced to coding.
The pre-kindergarten and kindergarten students then use apps that teach them songs, letters of the alphabet and numbers. The older children use tablets to read and listen to books, research, play math and other academic games. They also begin to learn to use the camera to record themselves.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
