Help me give my students an iPad to support exploring their ability to create, communicate and learn using a variety of media and allow me to document, and capture student learning and development.
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
I have 20 students that are very excited about learning. I am a pre-kindergarten teacher in a Title I school. My class is made up of students from diverse backgrounds and experiences. For some, this is their first experience in a public school setting as they prepare to transition to kindergarten. These students are served on many different levels from special education to advanced. Our school continues to grow, we are currently at 650 students from grade PK3 to 5th grade.
My Project
Pre-K students are exploring their ability to create and communicate using a variety of media (crayons, felt-tip markers, paints and other art materials, blocks, dramatic play materials, miniature life figures) and through creative movement, singing, dancing, and using their bodies to represent ideas and experiences. Digital technologies provide one more outlet for them to demonstrate their creativity and learning. These materials will make a great difference in students' learning. Students will use the iPad to capture pictures of their work and learning. Pictures will be used as part of student portfolios to track learning and growth. Recorded videos of students engaging with their peers can be used for students to share and discuss activities done in the classroom with their peers. Lastly the iPad will be used to celebrate student learning and creativity with digital slide shows and shared with families.
