Libraries at My Fingertips

My students need an iPad to access more online libraries full of books. With headphones and a splitter, they will be able to share interesting books with their friends.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. E.'s classroom raised $552

My Students

At our Title I, low income school we have adopted some wonderful programs for reading and math. We try hard to expose as many children as possible each day with the technology we have. Many of my students come from low income families. Our school has a thriving backpack buddy program, holiday assistance program, and clothes closet to help make ends meet. When surveyed, we found few students had technology they could use at home. That meant the only place they were able to access the wonderful online tools was at school.

My students are thirsty for new libraries of books in a desert of want.

The internet has opened up huge libraries of leveled books, wonderful resources to enrich vocabulary, and math and science tools in abundance. It is a challenge to get it into so many needed hands so often.

My Project

New characters new settings and new experiences are all at your fingertips. My students are now reading. They have cracked the codes of phonics and are excited about reading. They are always searching for new things to read and always want their questions answered on every new topic they hear about. My students have devoured many of the books in our classroom and school library, but they are hungry for more.

This iPad and the headphones will be exclusively for their use to access books from the public library, Project Bloomberg, and other online libraries to feed the love of learning.

It will also be used as a tool for students to explore online resources and learn how to utilize technology.
