My Project

I love to read, and I love to use that love of reading to turn my students into lifelong book lovers! Classroom libraries can be hard to maintain. They become outdated, lacking the lates titles and in dire need of diversity. The books are used to enhance student understanding of the topic being studied, but also to encourage growth through characters and plot lines. With a growing need for applicable storytelling to real-life situations, an updated classroom library is essential for student growth. Students learn more when they are able to relate to the material, and books provide just the right amount of "relatableness" that students need!

In order to promote that love of reading, the books that we receive need to keep coming back to the shelves for future readers, so an updated checkout system is a must.

With the help of the iPad, students can checkout books with ease by simply scanning the QR code that each book will be receiving. This ensures that the books are tracked, returned, and kept in good condition for years to come.

The iPad will also allow for added ease of instruction by allowing me to walk around the room, still writing on the iPad and projecting the word to the board, and helping students right as they learn, instead of waiting until the lesson is over to ask questions for clarity. The ability to write on the iPad with the Apple Pencil will allow for enhanced instruction, on the fly examples, and personalized demonstrations of concepts.
