Technology is constantly advancing and is becoming more of a norm in our society, hence the integration of iPads into our classroom is making a huge difference in these students lives. Currently over 500 students at our school are using the iPads, hence these protective cases are essential for keeping the iPads safe and convenient for usage. Our students are more engaged and motivated to learn using educational apps and games. In addition, I am utilizing the iPad and various tools to teach coding & robotics while my colleague is teaching Digital Arts. \r\n\r\nWith your donation and support, we were able to obtain protective iPad cases for the Tech Lab as well as tools to further enhance student learning and creativity with 21st Century skills.
