My Project

Students today are digital natives. By the time they reach their first birthday, they are often adept at swiping or selecting options on a mobile device. My students need more access to technological devices to improve their learning experiences during the school day. An iPad would enable them to engage in online lesson activities, conduct research projects, access personalized math and literacy programs, and complete individual tasks on Google Classroom.

An extra iPad would enable me, as their educator, to provide students with the chance to learn and investigate using technology on their own.
