My Project

My Project Lead the Way 6th-8th grade elective classes use iPads every week during the school year. From creating stop motion projects in my Green Architecture and Medical Detective classes, and building Minecraft letters in my Design and Modeling classes, to running Sphero Bolt, Sphero RvR and iRobots for all my classes, these iPads have done it all. But these well-loved, 1st generation iPads have finally met their match this year. They can no longer be updated past iOS 12 at this point so we can no longer download or update apps through our school system's website.

The iPads in my classroom have provided my students with the opportunity to work in small teams effectively.

We need iPads that are running at top speeds so that our codes run effectively, our photos upload quickly, and projects move at the speed of their ideas.
