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 Students
My students are intellectually gifted students living in the heart of the Delta. Our district serves around 340 students enrolled in the gifted program for the 2017-2018 school year, 50 of whom are my students. They are my pride and joy, and I look forward to teaching them as much as I can in the short years we have together.
The INSPIRE gifted program offers students an out-of-the-box approach to learning.
The program is a unit based program that is self-driven by the interests of the students. Over the past few years, we shifted gears, changed the name of our program, and became more robotics driven. The first step is getting the technology to be technologically driven!
This year, 2018-2019, I will continue to be technology driven and even more focused on promoting social skills, tolerance, success skills, thinking skills, and improving metacognition in each student.
I would like to continue to grow as a positive and challenging program for our students. With the help of donors like you, I know we will continue to reach new heights!
My Project
Oftentimes, I am able to borrow iPads from classroom teachers to use in my class, but just when I plan a technology driven activity for the day, the iPads can't come to my class. I would love a classroom set of iPads, but that can be very expensive.
I am asking for help with one techno tool, a Microsoft Surface Go for our classroom.
In our class, we would use the Microsoft Surface Go for coding on code.org, creating and utilizing Google slide shows, research, and coding our Dash and Dot robots.
It's not a classroom set of iPads, but it is one techno tool closer for us! Having a variety of technology tools in the classroom will aid in career readiness skills, coding, and a world of possibilities.
