With access to educational apps and interactive tools, my students can learn at their own pace while staying motivated and excited about their lessons.\r\n\r\nWhat excites my students most about the iPad is how fun learning feels when they use it. They love the interactive games, the chance to explore new apps, and the ability to see their progress instantly. The iPad has quickly become one of their favorite parts of the day, and it encourages them to stay focused and try their best.\r\n\r\nSome students have especially connected with this technology. One student who often struggles with writing now practices letters and sounds daily on the iPad and proudly shares her work with classmates. Another student who finds it hard to stay engaged during lessons shows increased focus and participation when using the iPad. It has given students new confidence and a fresh way to connect with their learning.","fullyFundedDate":1747468736976,"projectUrl":"project/ilearn-investing-in-my-future-with-an-i/9355481/","projectTitle":"iLearn: Investing in My Future with an iPad","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Jones","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10028130"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_67677","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":341,"numTeachers":16,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":99,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":0,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"21.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":64.6,"schoolId":67677,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about George Crockett Academy on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"George Crockett Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/michigan/michigan-department-of-education/george-crockett-academy/67677"}
