Teaching Terrific Kids with Technology

My students need tablets to help them explore, create and engage in more learning activities. Technology is such a large part of today's everyday life, and I am helping to prepare my students for the future!

My Students

What are we in 2nd grade? We are flexible and organized! My students walk into my classroom every day excited for the new adventures on which I will take them. They are eager to see what each new day will bring and willing to try their very best in every activity they engage in.

My classroom is an inclusion classroom servicing Special Education students in a general education setting.

I have to use a lot of differentiation throughout my school day to be sure I am reaching and allowing each student to access the curriculum to the best of their ability. I spend hours modifying, creating, and altering assignments so that each student can be confident in his/her work and feel like they are able to meet the requirements for every assignment.

Also in my class I have many students that are a part of nutrition club which gives them food weekly to bring home. Despite so many hardships, my students are eager to learn and do their best. They want to be in school because they want to learn all they can so they can be successful one day. They know my classroom is their happy and safe place.

My Project

Technology is everywhere and a very important part of everyone's daily life.

Technology is the future and my students are the ones that will be leading the future.

Technology in the classroom is very important for many different reasons. It helps prepare students for the future. Using technology in the classroom is a great way to differentiate learning and different learning styles. Technology helps prepare students for the real world. Students are more engaged with technology activities. Students are excited to use technology as it's a different way of learning and creating for them. Students become more responsible with technology. Technology allows students to demonstrate independence. It allows students to stay up-to-date with current and trending lessons.

You'd be amazed when you walked in my classroom and you are able to watch a 7-year-old create their own Powerpoint or Excel sheet. Students love being able to use different opportunities to create their own work and have the choice to make it more personal.

Students will use these tablets on a daily basis to engage, create and explore. We will use these for reading groups, math activities, blogging, virtual educational games, book and movie making, and much, much more.
