iPads for Education

My students need iPads to enhance their education and allow more creativity in their projects.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Benson's classroom raised $475

This project is fully funded

My Students

My classroom is a room of discovery! My students love technology and working with programs that enhance their learning. Every student has a Chromebook assigned to them, however they are limited on what can be done with just a Chromebook.

My students are creative, clever and very spontaneous.

I want them to have limitless opportunities to explore math and science with the best technology available.

I teach 43 students from all walks and talks of life. Some of them only have the opportunity to use technology at school. I want to give them every opportunity to embrace technology in our classroom and learn as much as they can by the end of the year.

My Project

We love technology! We use chromebooks everyday for much of our work. The chromebooks are great, but we are limited to some of the programs we would like to use.

There are so many amazing, fun apps that are available using iPads.

We would love to be able to use these apps to make our projects every more creative and incorporate them into the work we are doing with our chromebooks.

We love to use Seesaw as a way to show our parents what we are learning. With an iPad, we can not only record our explanation for math problems, but we can also draw our solution as we are explaining. It will take our way of showing our parents what we do in class to a whole new level if we had another iPad in our classroom to use everyday.
