Technology has given them opportunities to practice skills in a way that feels engaging and personalized. For example, Olivia has been practicing her multiplication facts using the iPad, and she is so proud of how quickly she is beginning to recall her times tables. Isla has really benefited from using interactive math fact practice, which allows her to work at her own pace and celebrate her progress along the way.\r\n\r\nFor many of my students, traditional practice can feel overwhelming, but the iPads turn learning into an interactive and motivating experience. The most exciting part for my students is that the apps feel like games, but at the same time, they are building critical academic skills. They love the immediate feedback, colorful visuals, and the sense of independence they gain when working with technology.\r\n\r\nSome students, like Olivia and Isla, have especially warmed to this new technology. Olivia lights up when she beats her previous score on multiplication practice, and Isla has started to independently ask for more math fact activities on the iPad. These small moments show how empowering technology can be in helping students feel successful and confident in their abilities.\r\n\r\nThanks to this project, my students are not only building essential academic skills but also gaining independence, motivation, and pride in their learning.","fullyFundedDate":1746786223085,"projectUrl":"project/empowering-inclusion/9286630/","projectTitle":"Empowering Inclusion","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Kinney","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8689863"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_12402","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":635,"numTeachers":37,"percentFrplEligible":36,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":87,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":0,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"17.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":72.9,"schoolId":12402,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about East Hancock Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"East Hancock Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/mississippi/hancock-county-school-district/east-hancock-elementary-school/12402"}
