Ms. Daane from Miami FL is requesting technology through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.
My students need an IPad pro because they need access to information, photos, data, virtual field trips and webinars on the global water crisis. This includes but is not limited to climate change and its affects.
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 are made up of the sociology economic status of free and reduced lunch. They are mostly second generation immigrants. The learning levels are advanced and gifted. Students do not have any behavior problems and they are high level learners.
The students are interested in global conditions and environmental concerns, specifically issues surrounding the global water shortage.
Student experiences are limited due to cultural and economic restrictions. Most students don't have phones, much less IPads! The students are motivated about engineering and the design process for practical use.
Students will learn on an IPad Pro through STEM initiatives how to reduce dependence on big box stores and traditional forms of energy. Alternative forms of energy are explored as well as the concept of reducing the human "foot print" on the Earth. Students learn through visualizing global conditions and the real world culture of "carrying water", "roof top" water collection systems, cisterns, and river culture.
An Ipad Pro with WiFi will allow students to develop a home site by designing a "Tiny House" less than 800 square feet, food sourcing on the property, designing a system for accessing water, garbage disposal, and designing multi use furniture.
Students will use engineering apps available in the App Store to build a model that includes these criteria and create a multi media presentation that focuses on the marketing and sale of the property including all of the environmental developments.
