My Project

I am requesting professional development materials to help educate all learners within my classroom. The iPad will allow me to work with the many educational platforms that we use in my middle school such as Schoology, Khan Academy, MInecraft Education, and much more. These devices will provide me with ample support for my diverse learners. Many of my students need supports in the many forms of the apps offered within the Apple Store such as google translate, coding apps, learning apps, and etc. During our lessons I have several differentiated small groups working on various assignments and activities. This iPad will allow be to better communicate with all students as well as better prepare me as a robotics educator.

The devices from this project will allow me to actively participate in cooperative learning PDs, Minecraft PDs, and assist with me implementation of the skills I learn through those courses.

These PDs support my growth as an educator and support students' academic and socio-emotional growth.
