My Students

"Tell me and I will forget. Show me and I will remember. Involve me and I will understand. Step back and I will act." -Chinese Proverb. Have you ever heard this quote? It describes what our school day is all about! Involving students with hands-on and relevant activities is imperative in today's world.

When you come into our classroom, you will see my students eagerly and happily working with hands-on materials in all subject areas, especially science and mathematics.

When it comes to reading, you do not hear much about it being "interactive." But in our classroom, we like to involve various aspects of learning (listening, acting, reading, etc.) to gain understanding of the various topics covered in this subject area specifically. In other areas of study, my students love to work with manipulatives, tools, and, simply, their hands. Involving their hands with an iPad is something that I think my students will benefit from, being able to use apps that will help improve their understanding and comprehension in all subject areas. Knowing that they could have access to more supplies to better stretch their minds and allow them an outlet to express their creativity astounds me. They have a thirst to learn and explore, and an iPad would give them the opportunity to do exactly this.

My Project

When it comes to the core curriculum (ELA, Math, Science, and SS), students need all the exposure they can get for all concepts through various means of learning. One of those means of learning I think my students will benefit most from is a technology based learning - whether it be manipulating, moving, typing, or listening. In our classroom, we are constantly looking for ways to engage ourselves in our learning and ways to grow. Nothing motivates my students more than using technology to help them learn. Through the use of a variety of apps, students can gain a wealth of knowledge. This is made possible because they can simply use any apps that benefit their learning in ways that they didn't think they could. My students are always wanting to use technology to learn different concepts such as multiplication, geometry, plants and animals, and other ideas. This interactive way of learning brings about a new definition and sheds new light on the word "education."

This project will change my students' lives for the better and will improve my classroom teaching in a variety of ways.

We will be able to better understand our subject areas and concepts because we will have access to thousands of applications. We will be able to better understand how to utilize technology in a smart way because we will have it available to us. This will all be possible because we will have the technology to use in our own classroom on a daily (and hourly) basis.
