My students need Fire Tablets to allow them to access technology in the classroom. Students will use the Fire Tablets to improve reading, writing and math through using applications and doing research projects.
My students are from an urban area where their starting point in life is dramatically behind their suburban peers. They often don't have the funds for basic necessities needed to succeed in school. They also have special needs, which requires even more supplies and learning materials to reach the level of their general education peers. Most of my kids do not have technology at home so the only technology they are exposed to is at school. Therefore, technology in the classroom can make all the difference in their education.
My Project
Being able to add multiple modes of accessing information is a goal in my classroom this year. Students having Fire Tablets will help them access information previously not attainable.
I will assign small research projects, readings, and current events so my students' minds can grow.
The Fire Tablets will allow my students to access Readings, Math, Science, and Social Studies. The Fire Tablets will better prepare them for the real-world events like college and careers. I want to be able to assign them meaningful assignments so they grow a love of learning and can achieve their dreams!
Tech for success will be a starting point for my students to be able to navigate technology through research projects. The Fire Tablets will be used to improve reading, writing and math. I feel school should be a community to help students be successful in life. I want them to feel prepared for middle school their future. The Fire Tablets will change the way my students interact with learning and they will be better prepared for success.
