Help me give my students a new iPad for up-to-date technology that will allow them to reach the global classroom especially during this time of social distancing.
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 school is the little school in the country with the big heart! My school is part of the largest school district in the state but we are in a very rural area. We strive to continue to bring education to life for our students who might not otherwise be engaged in their education. However, there is not a lot of opportunities for my students to have the experiences that other children have.
My students no longer come bounding down the hall to class but they are still very eager to learn.
I am always striving to give them the tools and knowledge to continue their educational exploration. They love to learn in a variety of ways but especially using technology. I strive to bring experiences to them through technology and other classroom resources.
I have a diverse population of students and a variety of households represented in my class. Parents are involved in their child's education but their resources are limited. The students work hard every day and deserve an exciting and engaging education!
My Project
A new iPad tablet with a protective case will give my students another piece of technology that I can loan out to students. I am loaning technology to students to give them opportunity to work with digital flash cards, instructional videos, apps that reinforce learning, digital books and a new listening station. The students will also have fun while learning a wide range of skills and concepts. The Brain Pop Jr. site allows students to learn about a topic and test their knowledge on historical events and people and science topics. Splash Math Worksheets is a comprehensive math practice app that will improve the students' understandings of math skills. The Brainzy app encourages kids to learn thirty different math and reading skills through play. The iPad tablet will also be used as an intervention tool with struggling readers and math students to work on i-Ready, our board approved reading and math program.
Having a new iPad tablet to loan to students and for future use in our classroom will help bring up-to-date technology to all my students.
It will help enhance the lessons I teach every day. My students deserve all that we can give them. This iPad tablet can help bridge the gap between technology and learning.
