Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

My school is a Title I school nestled in the outskirts of Rock Hill in rural South Carolina. Most of the students come from a low socioeconomic background with over 73% of our students receiving free lunch.

ODES is a medium-sized school in population, but is filled with students who have a love for innovation and learning!

As diverse as our students are economically and culturally, they are diverse in their academics as well. 14% of our students have disabilities, and 7% are in the gifted and talented program.

We are also home to a STEAM program, where our students conduct research regularly and complete projects for Project Based Learning in their classrooms.

Creating a fun and interactive learning environment helps to keep my students engaged and energized to learn. I try to make learning interesting by having a variety of learning materials available to them. Having high-interest materials helps students stay engaged and allows for a deeper level of understanding.

My Project

My students need iPads to incorporate more technology into our classroom STEAM curriculum (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math). Currently, my students are using old severely out-dated iPads. Due to the age of the iPads, my students are not able to access updated Apps and programs that are needed for their learning and projects. New iPads will allow them to create digital stories, technology portfolios, listen to reading stations, and digitally enhanced projects.

I am preparing my students for a future in the world that is very dependent on technology.

Without the tools to properly educate my students on the many uses of technology, I am failing to prepare my students for that future. My students need access to technology in order to gain the confidence necessary to live and work in a technological world
