My Students

My students are the best in the world! We live in a very small, rural town in mid-west Indiana. Over 60% of our students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Our state standards changed last year, and I find myself lacking durable items to teach these standards.

My school doesn't have much money for up-to-date equipment, so I write grants to purchase items to help my students work with a variety of tools to which they would not otherwise have access.

I teach all levels of students and believe each and every one should have the same experiences! All of them are eager to learn by understanding that all subjects must be integrated to have a complete learning experience. I have convinced each and every one that they can win a Nobel Prize for thinking outside the box. It is my job to give them the tools to think critically in every situation.

My Project

My students have been given 3 Sphero Sprk+ and 3 Sphero Mini Coding robots through a generous donation as the beginning of another addition to our collection of Tinker Trays. These Trays are portable mini-maker spaces used by any teacher in the building. As these Spheros are portable, my students need portable devices to keep up with the patterns and obstacle courses they are creating.

The Kindle Fires will be used exclusively for coding the Sphero robots.

They will be placed in the Tinker Tray kit that will be accessible to all students and teachers at our school. The faster processers in these machines will allow students to create more elaborate and more complex coding programs.
