Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

My students live in a high poverty area and many of my students do not have access to technology. The future is going to be based so much on technology and without exposing my students to the skills they will need to be successful I feel that I am not giving them the best. Adding these iPads to my classroom allow my students to work with coding techniques as well as robots and drones. I want to give my students every opportunity to get out of the poverty they live in now and I feel that they are at a disadvantage if I do not expose them to as much technology as possible.

My Project

We will be using these 2 iPads to work on coding skills and to develop the students digital learning and computer science abilities. I have 20 students that come through my classroom at a time and I have a limited amount of technology for the students to use. I want the students to have access to the technology they need for their future.

The future of our students world is based on technology and I want to give my students the skills they need to be successful.

Without exposing the students to the skills the will need I feel that they will continue to be at a disadvantage.
