My Project
I am writing to request an Apple iPad and Apple Pencil to help students learn tools to help manage their anxiety. I would like the iPad so that I would be able to use it to present different apps for students to understand and learn how to practice mindfulness. This is a skill that I think would be very beneficial to them in coping with anxiety (especially in the aftermath of the Maui Fires).
Having portable technology helps when I meet students outside of my office.
It also allows me to utilize a device (not my personal device or school provided computer that has access to all school records and files ) to help protect privacy of other students, and it wouldn’t have other student records.
I have noticed that a majority of my student contact involves working with students to learn how to manage symptoms of anxiety. If I can give students resources to calm themselves utilizing technology, they will be more apt to create mindful habits to help them better manage their emotions.
More than half of students from low‑income households
