iTeach: Empowering Flexible Learning with Technology

Help me give my students a more dynamic and flexible classroom by giving me an iPad and Apple Pencil so that I may teach from anywhere in the room, small group instruction, and translate quickly for new students.

My Project

An iPad will give the flexibility to change my classroom based on the ever-changing daily demands and student demands. Each day requires me to change my classroom from a lecture hall to a laboratory to a makers space. Additionally, each period calls for a different teaching style. An iPad will allow me the teach from anywhere in the classroom. I will be able to change the lay out of the room based on the day's activities and I wont be tied to my plug-in teacher desk.

Additionally, as a school that helps refugee students, I can have anywhere from 3-6 different language spoken in my classroom and an iPad will allow me to communicate more effectively.

Currently, it is a challenge to either type up translations on my computer and wait for the student to read it. Otherwise, I use my personal phone to translate, but then I must always have my phone with me which presents other challenges.

Finally, bringing an iPad and Pencil into my classroom will provide some much needed technology advances that will bring me up to date with other schools around me in the Silicon Valley, and in doing so, make my classroom a more dynamic and flexible.
