Special Needs Students Need Ipad

Help me give my students 2 ipads and a case for digital learning

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Bruder's classroom raised $1,134

This project is fully funded

My Students

All of the students I teach are special needs children. Their age places them in a middle school setting; however, they all function on a much lower grade level. Almost all of my students live a guarded life at home and at school. Some of my students are classified as intellectually delayed and function well behind their age/grade level, some have emotional disturbance and need extra support in the classroom.

My students need to learn how to have fun just like everyone else does and not be fearful of who is watching them.

This is the first school year that we were able to teach to the student and not to the state's needs. The students' abilities are more important than providing data to the state. This school year we taught in a less conventional way, to get life skills across to them. We have pet-assisted learning animals in the classroom, a site therapy dog, hygiene skills, and hands-on learning and community-based projects along a program to combat childhood obesity. All skills our students need to learn how to do for themselves.

My Project

My students are 21st-century learners. They learn best with anything digital. Even though my students are considered Special Needs, they all know how to use an iPhone or an iPad. They have the basics down pack, now it comes for them to be able to work one on one with technology while following a guide from an interactive whiteboard.

My goal is to have one on one correspondence in my school for all my students so that they can all learn using some sort of technology be on a laptop or an iPad, to be able to give them a project and have them go and do without constant adult support.

By having two more Ipads to use with the classes, this will help out and make my vision a reality.
