Since receiving it, we have been able to dive into interactive learning opportunities that engage students in new and exciting ways.\r\n\r\nStudents have used the iPad to practice math skills with adaptive apps, explore science concepts through virtual simulations, and strengthen reading fluency with interactive stories. It has also given them a platform to create digital artwork and record their own stories, building both confidence and creativity.\r\n\r\nOne of the most impactful changes has been the ability to differentiate instruction more effectively. Students who need extra practice can work at their own pace, while those ready for a challenge can explore enrichment activities. The iPad has also allowed us to document our learning journey through photos, videos, and digital portfolios that students are proud to share.\r\n\r\nFor many of my students, this was their first real access to this kind of technology, and it has opened doors they didn't have before. Your generosity has helped bridge the digital divide and has shown my students that their education matters and that others believe in their potential.\r\n\r\nFrom the bottom of our hearts—thank you for supporting our classroom and making such a meaningful difference in my students' learning experiences.","fullyFundedDate":1748363953946,"projectUrl":"project/empowering-learning-through-technology/9337694/","projectTitle":"Empowering Learning Through Technology: A Classroom iPad","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Love","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10029395"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_15571","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":267,"numTeachers":27,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":27,"percentWhite":59,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":5,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"1 - 4","studentTeacherRatio":"9.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":100.0,"schoolId":15571,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Jefferson Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Jefferson Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/jefferson-independent-school-district/jefferson-elementary-school/15571"}
