The Ipads arrived very quickly and I was thrilled to start putting them to use.\r\n\r\nStudents sometimes leave class very upset and because of a language barrier, I am not able to ascertain what problem they are having. Being able to use the ipad as a translation tool has been amazing. The kids are much more comfortable speaking with me when they don't have to also share with a translator who is a stranger.\r\n\r\nWe also have a variety of students who have breaks listed in their 504, because that has been known to be helpful with ADHD or anxiety. When these students come to the office for a break, the Ipads allow them to keep up with the work that is going on in their classroom because they can access their google classroom using the Ipad.\r\n\r\nLastly, students sometimes spend time in the counseling suite while they are waiting for the assistant principal to follow through with a behavioral incident. Having the Ipads allows the students to make good use of their time, instead of sleeping or sitting idly. Now students can complete work on IXL while they wait, so we really are getting the most instructional minutes into each day.\r\n\r\nMy team and our kiddos are extremely grateful for your generous donation!","fullyFundedDate":1768242052438,"projectUrl":"project/overcoming-communication-obstacles-with/10007127/","projectTitle":"Overcoming Communication Obstacles With Technology","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Barnes","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2373494"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_58293","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":640,"numTeachers":49,"percentFrplEligible":60,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":29,"percentWhite":45,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":14,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"13.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":90.0,"schoolId":58293,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Highland Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Highland Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/kentucky/jefferson-county-public-schools/highland-middle-school/58293"}
