My Project

As an engineering and innovation teacher, I am requesting the acquisition of an iPad, Apple Pencil, keyboard, and protective case to enhance our classroom's ability to document and reflect on student projects. The iPad will allow students to capture high-quality photos and videos of their prototypes, while the Apple Pencil will enable them to annotate images and diagrams with precision. This technology will be essential for students to track their progress, reflect on their design process, and communicate their ideas effectively. The iPad also provides the flexibility for students to create multimedia presentations and collaborate on projects in real-time.

These tools will not only improve documentation and reflection but will also make it easier for students to produce detailed reports, sketches, and designs on the go.

With the addition of a protective case and keyboard, the iPad will be well-suited for use in the workshop, ensuring durability and ease of typing for comprehensive documentation. Overall, this technology will enhance the student learning experience, improve collaboration, and better prepare them for future careers in engineering and innovation. Thank you for considering this request.
