Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

I teach 5th grade! I have wonderful students who have a contagious enthusiasm for learning! There are a lot of web-based applications that are super helpful and motivating when it comes to student engagement and learning. However, to access these resources it requires the technology! My project is going to give students opportunities to interact with technology both for class-based projects and assignments, but also with applications that are adaptive and individualized to give each student a customized plan for his or her learning.

Students can conduct research, listen to themselves read, solve math problems with writing capabilities, read eBooks, and take charge of their own learning.

The possibilities with the Surface Go Tablet are truly endless! Students will be able to use digital ink to write, sketch, annotate, and highlight during the learning process. The Surface Go Pro will give my students the opportunity to learn in a way that suits them best and meets their individual needs.
