My IB school is great! Our classroom is full of students from many different cultures, and we are very lucky to be able to share and learn from each other. I am blessed to be working at a Title 1 school, which allows me to give back to my community.
My classroom has 23 bright young minds!
They are all very unique with awesome personalities. I want to be able to reach all my students needs through some of our online resources. We have subscriptions to IXL and MyOn. I have seen so much improvement from my students who have daily access to these sites. Unfortunately, there are many students who are not able to access these sites because of the lack of technology at home/lack of time to use technology at school. I want to be able to change this!
My Project
Technology is becoming more and more apart of our daily lives. Children love playing on the computer and playing video games and I want to be able to integrate this into our classroom environment. During workstation time, computer is the one station they fight over each day! We have 4 computers in the classroom, but they are rarely all working at the same time. Having these requested iPads would give more students the opportunity to use technology daily!
My students are FULL of energy and I am always wanting/willing to find something new to keep them engaged.
Kids in this generation are fully engaged when they are playing video games and watching TV, so why not use technology to keep them engaged in their learning as well? I would love to have these iPads to use for independent workstations in reading and math. I would also be able to allow for more independent research opportunities with technology being more accessible.
More than half of students from low‑income households
