My Students

Kids love technology! I will be able to inspire a love of learning using an iPad 2. Integrating an iPad into our class will motivate students and provide them with thousands of educational apps for every aspect of our curriculum.

My Kindergarten students are very active and learn best by exploring.

I teach in a rural Title 1 school in Ohio. Many of my students have not attended preschool, so this is their first experience in a structured environment. Some of my students are coming to school with little or no knowledge of reading or basic literacy skills. Many of our students receive free/reduced lunch, and most do not have access to technology at home.

My Project

An iPad 2 will allow my students to use many different educational apps to help with mastering our kindergarten standards. When introducing a new concept, this engaging technology will catch interest and help me ensure academic success. Once a concept has been introduced, students can work with various apps to help reinforce the topic or provide extra assistance for those in need. There are many free/cheap educational apps I am interested in. Here are just a few: Letter rip, Alphabytes, Sight words lite, Phonics easy, My name, and Kids letter. Our Everyday Math program also has an app that will allow students to reinforce concepts we have learned.

Technology plays an important role in today's society.

Most of my students don't have access to tools that will help them be successful later in life. Reinforcing skills is essential to student learning and the use of an iPad 2 is an efficient way to practice while keeping students interested. An iPad 2 will allow for differentiation at all levels of learning and will benefit every student in my current and future classes.
