My students need one iPod Touch device, Dynex TV & cable to work on math/reading apps, and view video clips via A/V cable to tv so they can meet their academic goals.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
Remember when teachers made you study flashcards and write things down over and over again using paper and pencils? Technology makes learning more fun. I have implemented the use of electronics to support teaching math and reading for Learning Disabled students. Please help us with your donation.
My students are identified as having learning disabilities and require individualized/group assistance.
We are located in a district considered below poverty level with an enormous amount of minority and bilingual students. Our school is located in the South Bronx by the famous Bronx Zoo.
My students have started using the devices with the math and reading apps and have begun to make progress. Children learn so much faster with technology and we would like to take advantage of that. The students need the device for these types of apps geared towards learning. We even purchased apps in Spanish and for ESL to help students acquire a second language.
The power of this small device is amazing. Our class can access video content, via the Internet, by using the iPod touch. Many educational video clips will be stored on the device. The A/V component cables and television enable the class to view clips as a group, comfortably in their own seats.
My Project
The use of the iPod device in the resource room classroom has been showing great promise. Children are addicted to technology so why not put it to good use. Students are beginning to remember their multiplication charts (older students with retention issues), spelling has improved and some fluency.
Using the iPod device, we have streamed video clips, documentaries, interviews and even historical movies to bring lessons, from a book, alive! Sadly, we can only do this when we have the resources to borrow. Hopefully, with generous donors, such as yourselves, we can have our own media center within our classroom.
Thank you so much for your consideration in donating towards this project.
Children need individualized and group help to assist them with dealing with their disabilities.
Technology has shown, when used correctly, to improve scores as well as self esteem. It's hard enough dealing with a disability, will you help me get these wonderful students caught up with their peers?
Nearly all students from low‑income households
