it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
What better way to explore the 21st century world around us than through the use of technology! Help me to provide my students with two Apple iPad minis to create educational opportunities that encourage collaboration, individual growth, and lasting first grade memories!
My students are energetic and inquisitive first graders!
In our inner city public school, I have the pleasure of working with 25 first grade students. The children come from high poverty and are eager for opportunities to learn. While their learning styles and abilities vary, they all jump at the opportunity for hands-on learning experiences. It is my goal to provide my students with as many 21st Century learning opportunities as possible to create life-long learners.
Many of my students are English Language Learners. My students benefit from the opportunity to practice with repetition and we love singing songs! The ability for my students to touch the screen and read and write on iPad minis will be an amazing opportunity for them encompassing repetition and song through different educational applications! The children will perform at a higher level of achievement with the help of cognitively engaging classroom activities on the Apple iPad minis!
My Project
With the addition of two Apple iPad minis to our our classroom, the unique learning opportunities across all subject areas will be endless. Being that these technologies are portable, my students will be able to move freely around the room to quiet and cozy places when doing center work. During Math and English center times, my students will be able to practice typing and explore educational apps and videos that will support our practices in the classroom.
Additionally, I intend to create web-quests that align with our first grade common core standards so that my pupils can interact with the world around them. I know that my students will also be excited to finally be able to publish their paragraphs that they create in writer's workshop and feel the gratification of a finished product. The iPad minis will also enable the children to be cognitively engaged in activities that are differentiated according to their learning styles.
I strive to make our first grade classroom student centered, exciting, and engaging each day.
The addition of these 21st century technologies will impact my students' learning in precisely this way. The children will leave first grade with experience on a piece of technology they can add to their repertoire of life-long knowledge. Please help me to provide my 21st century learners with iPad minis to help them continue to learn and grow!
