My students are from a rural, southern Louisiana area. They are eager to learn new things and know the importance of a great education. Students range in ages from 10-12 years old, which is the most important age for building a lifelong foundation for the love of learning.
These students are aware of the ever-growing need for a college degree.
Cooperative learning groups help my students to retain information longer. The benefits of collaborating with peers are endless. The skills acquired through socializing are beneficial to everyone.
My Project
I am asking an iPad with WiFi and a cover. This device will enable my students to become familiar with a touch screen device. Most students are now familiar with the chromebook, however students need to have diverse abilities when it comes to technology.
By having access to an iPad, my students will be able to get familiar with using various devices for enhancing technological skills.
In today's educational world, students must have skills with a variety of devices in order to compete with others.
Also, this will ensure that students are college and career ready. No one really knows what career choices these students will have when they finish school, therefore it is our job to ensure that they have access to most updated devices.
