One iPad for Loads of Learning!

My students need one iPad, protective case, and cover to help integrate STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) and PLTW (Project Lead the Way) activities and challenges in our classroom!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Schaefer's classroom raised $632

My Students

I have 17 students starting the 2017 school year with me. I can't wait to meet them and get them engaged and excited about learning! Each year, I am provided with a new group of eager learners with diverse social, emotional, and academic needs.

Our school is a Title I school where over 40% of students receive free and reduced-price lunch.

We are in a rural community in southwest Wisconsin. Our funding is limited beyond just the basics of what we can offer our students.

I am always looking for ways to create lessons that are motivating and meaningful for the children in my class. If students are engaged and excited, they are more willing to try and learn new things!

My Project

Each year, I work on implementing more hands-on learning opportunities through STEM investigations. An iPad would allow my students to look up videos that will help them visualize and understand an investigation, record videos of their final products, and increase their knowledge in a particular area.

I like to start off the year by challenging the kids to build a strong bridge out of cups and cubes.

I would love for kids to be able to look up pictures of bridges and videos of bridges being built. This would help with their planning stage of building a bridge.

This next year my students will also be experiencing PLTW (Project Lead the Way) explorations for the first time. I am planning on implementing Grids and Games and Changing Earth. Both of these areas require technology for optimal learning.

Our school only has one iPad cart to share between 24 classrooms. I have an additional 3 iPads in my classroom, but the storage is so small that I cannot download all the apps required to implement PLTW.

I currently have to show all my students the same video to get them ready for a STEM investigation. I would love to give each group their own iPad, so that they can be in charge of their learning and exploring. This iPad would allow each STEM group to have their own iPad for their explorations. I am trying to improve the amount of technology offered to my students one iPad at a time!
