My Students

Technology provides endless opportunities for students to learn.

My kindergarten class is in a rural setting in Louisiana.

My students are eager to learn and love technology. Many of them do not have computers or tablets at home. The Internet is not easily accessed in this area. The use of an iPad would give them the opportunity to learn in a new way. It will enhance their learning tremendously.

My Project

I am requesting iPads for our classroom. I would like to use them during small group instruction to enhance the students' learning. There are many apps that can be used for all subjects. Students can practice writing and learn their ABC's. Students can learn in a new, fun way.

Allowing the students to work with iPads will help prepare them for the future.

It will motivate them to learn and get them ready for using technology as they get older. Technology is here to stay, and we need to expose our students to as much of it as we can.
