My Students
My students are an inquisitive group of kids. They enjoy completing projects via technology. It has the power to transform mundane learning tasks into innovative projects. They have a thirst to access a myriad of information. Technology puts it at their fingertips!
Our school is a suburban elementary located within the second largest school district.
Like many other districts, we are suffering from serious financial problems, so our school was unable to budget for classroom purchases. I ask my students' parents for basic classroom supplies and I am fortunate to receive donations from most families. There continues to be other supplies that are needed. Donors are the only hope we have for our students to completely access the curriculum in a memorable and meaningful way.
My classroom is comprised of a mixed population. Many come from single parent homes where some parents work odd hours or double shifts. Despite the challenges faced by my students, both parents and students are determined to succeed and willing to work hard. My students' efforts are evident in much of their work and most are achieving grade level standards .
My Project
Do you remember what it was like going to school? The only resources your teacher had for instruction were textbooks. Fortunately, this is not the case for today's students. They have the opportunity to not only learn through books but, they can also access additional resources via an Apple TV. Having an Apple TV in the classroom will allow me to mirror the class iPad onto our television. Students can follow along as we research the Internet, consider apps where we can view primary sources, and explore educational applications. We also need a protective case for our iPad. We don't want it to get damaged!
Finally, I frequently develop lessons or find lessons that will challenge my students. I need to print these lessons but have run out of ink. I need to replace the toner cartridge.
Due to the importance of the Internet, many publishers are now including websites and Apps to supplement their textbooks.
Having these materials will allow me to continue advancing my student's education. Together we can explore and experience a modern way of learning via technology. Technology is an important component of education today. Students can access a plethora of resources using an Apple TV.
More than half of students from low‑income households
