My Students

My students are a great bunch of kids that benefit from learning opportunities they would normally not have access to, other than at school. My students are so eager to learn and grow. We enjoy sharing our experiences and sharing new ways to learn.

My students do not always get to have some of the rich learning experiences that many others are able to.

We work very hard to bridge the gap and I know the harder we work, the more we gain. As their teacher, I work to bring them as much rich learning as possible.

"Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire." William Butler Yeats.

My Project

The opportunities for on-the-go learning with an iPad are immeasurable. Students can create videos on a safe device and share them with the class. News stories, research videos, scavenger hunts, escape rooms, and many more doors will open up.

Students are so tech-savvy and I would love to give them the opportunity to really express their creativity by directing their own learning.

With the iPad, students could take the item and create their project and even connect from home with less bulk.

I wish to bring every learning opportunity I possibly can to my small school. The students are often more isolated from the outside world and taking a virtual field trip, connecting with a classroom across the world, sharing their experiences on a kids vlog opens up the world to them.
