My Students
We need technology in every classroom and in every student and teacher's hand, because it is the pen and paper of our time, and it is the lens through which we experience much of our world." -David Warlick .
I believe technology will help students become thinkers and learners.
Our school is filled with eager children who are thirsty for knowledge.
As a group they are very hard working. We have a wide range of economic diversity in our school. School becomes a "leveled playing field" where all students have an equal opportunity for advancement and growth.
My Project
Students will be able to do a variety of activities with iPads. I see students using them for research for their reports. I imagine struggling students using the iPad for math drill and practice. The advanced students can challenge themselves also with higher math concepts. It can be used in a center when students have completed their assigned work. The iPads can be used as a reward for students who complete tasks that they might not other wise find the motivation to complete. I believe the possibilities are only limited by my imagination.
Children in this age are surrounded by technology.
It is imperative that we teach students to become learners using this technology. They already understand how to be entertained by the devices that are available but I believe it is also important to teach them how to use technology to become thinkers also.
