iPads To Enhance Learning In Special Education Classroom!

Help me give my students more ways to learn. The large number of apps in the App Store designed for education would unlock a world or learning opportunities for my students that are not available on Google Chromebooks.

My Project

I am a middle school special education teacher. I focus on math, social skills, organization skills, and life skills with my students who are in grades 6th-8th.

These iPads would provide my students with more ways to learn because of the numerous amounts of apps designed for education.

The school laptops (Chromebook) do not provide us with programs that are well suited for students with disabilities, whereas the iPads do. My students would benefit from these tools as many struggle to properly use laptops. Thank you so much for your consideration!

Mr. Patterson
Grades 6-8
  • Cope Middle School
  • Bossier City, LA
    • More than half of students from low‑income households

    This project will reach 11 students.
