Ms. Julia from Gregory SD is requesting computers & tablets through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Why an iPad You Say?

Help me give my students a alternative platform for delivering my instructional content. An iPad will transform boring instruction into engaging activities that will assist students with the motivation to learn in a nontraditional paper and pencil way.

My Project

In today's world, technology plays a compelling role in education by expanding student learning, engagement, and motivation. As a Special Education teacher, my goal is to support diverse learners with varying levels of abilities. By incorporating an iPad in the classroom, I will provide my students with numerous advantages such as:

Increase student engagement:

The interactive educational apps on an iPad will transform boring instruction into engaging activities that will assist the students with the motivation to learn in a nontraditional paper and pencil way.

Facilitate personal learning:

Students can further their learning with hands-on activities that will facilitate unique learning preferences. I would also be able to customize my instruction to accommodate individual learning.

Build essential 21st-century skills:

Incorporating iPads into my educational instruction will help prepare my students for today’s technological age with skills that will assist them in critical and analytical thinking, creativity, and self-direction.
