Itching For Technology

My students need an iPad with a protective case to have exposure to technology and assist with reading and math.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Tillis's classroom raised $514

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students are very eager to learn and use the latest technology; however, most students don't have any form of technology in their homes. I would like my students to be well on their way to becoming global graduates. Enter to learn, exit to lead...Failure is not an option.

I work in a Title 1 funded school.

The majority of the students are on free/reduced price lunch. More than 3/4 or the students do not have home access to technology. The students come to school every day excited about learning. I want to continue their love of learning through technology. The students already enjoy using the computer for school related assignments. Having an An iPad with case will allow them to be exposed to technology and be well on their way to becoming a global graduate.

My Project

My students will work on multiple activities to ensure they have differentiated instruction. Students will be able to have books read to them to increase fluency and accuracy reading rates, work on interactive games to learn and increase basic facts and multiplication facts. In addition to that, students will gain a wealth of knowledge overall working on reading, math, science, social studies, and language arts activities. Working individually as well as in a group will help with becoming leaders.

I feel this will enhance my classroom by adding a daily piece of technology to allow students an opportunity to research, make power point presentation, use apps, and use as a work station.

Students will have access to technology daily and become 21st century learners and global graduates.
