Traveling the World Right From My Classroom

My Students

My students are 4th grade students who attend a Title I school. They are in a Dual Language Classroom. They are English Language Learners (ELL). Majority of them are on a free/reduced lunch program. Most of my students have never been outside of their city limits.

I strive to make their time in school an enjoyable experience.

They each have a unique and different style of learning. For me it is essential to provide them with a variety of teaching tools that will open their curiosity and ignite their creativity.

My Project

It is unlikely that I will be able to take my students on field trips to every destination I cover in class; however, with a tablet, my students can go on virtual field trips anywhere.

Tablets are a portable research tool for the classroom.

Students can research topics without having to leave their desks.

E-books are specifically designed for use on tablets, so I can allow my students to use their tablets for reading in the classroom. Additionally, tablets have speakers, which allow for easy listening to audiobooks or text-to-speech e-books.

Students can have tons of options for creating multimedia projects, comics, books, music, and more on a tablet.

There is an abundance of high-quality educational apps that my students can use to supplement learning. I can find everything from math conversion apps to language learning apps.
