Teaching Mindfulness to Students to Calm Anxiety

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.
