Help me give my students greater opportunities for engagement during distance learning and beyond! This includes an iPad, Smart Keyboard, Apple Pencil, protection plan, and ink.
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
My students are great kids who are often growing up in less than ideal circumstances. Many of the students come from broken homes and they witness violence in their streets. My school has many students living in poverty, a high level of students receive special education services, and English is not the first language of a large group of students. Fortunately, most students persevere through their hardships and are able to have an awesome school experience.
When the doors closed in March, I never expected to not go back into my classroom and see my students for the remainder of the year.
This fall our “new normal” of distance learning will still continue to impact all of us. Even though we may not be physically together every day this fall, our learning still continues.
My Project
Teachers and students are uncertain how learning will happen in the fall. Even though we are excited to return to the classroom, this may not happen on a daily basis. The continuance of distance learning in some manner is a real possibility and being prepared is key to ensuring students are learning.
Students will benefit by having an iPad in our classroom.
It will give us greater engagement opportunities and provide us with additional apps and educational resources we can use as a class. This will become a useful and wonderful essential in our physical classroom.
However, if we are not in the classroom the iPad will be used to record lessons that will be viewed and used by students for learning.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
