WOW, iPads Gave Us Intellectual Powers!

My Students

My students are extremely special to me. My students live in a Title I school district and all of my students receive free breakfast and lunch.

"If a child cannot learn in the way we teach, we must teach in a way the child can learn."

My students are faced with several challenges, in and out of the classroom. Despite the many challenges they face, I try to keep things simple and provide my students with creative and meaningful learning experiences.

My Project

Having the set of iPads will allow for different structures of learning in my classroom. The iPads will be used as a learning center. Students can explore different academic apps. For example, a math app to improve their number identification. Next, a literacy app to improve letter identification, letter sounds and sight words. Finally, these apps will focus on differentiated instructions, because most of my students are academically low, but some are performing on level.

My project will make a huge difference, because it will help my students be profoundly exposed to the digital era.

Our classrooms are not yet at the level technologically to meet their needs as learners. This grant will help to close that gap just a little bit more.
