My students use them to write, draw, annotate, solve problems, and create digital projects on our iPads. Having a precise tool for writing and drawing allows students to interact with their work in a much more natural way than using their fingers. This has made it easier for them to show their thinking, make changes to their work, and create detailed digital products that reflect their ideas and creativity.\r\n\r\nOne of the most exciting things has been seeing how independently students use the Crayons. They are able to pick one up and immediately get to work without worrying about the frustration of trying to write or draw accurately with a finger. Students who especially enjoy creating and designing have loved having a tool that allows them to add greater detail to their digital work. The cleaning cloths have also helped us keep our shared iPads clean and ready for learning each day. These may seem like simple supplies, but they have made our technology easier to use and have helped create a classroom where students can focus on thinking, creating, and learning. Thank you for making that possible!","fullyFundedDate":1786972617144,"projectUrl":"project/helping-big-thinkers-create-big-ideas/10368251/","projectTitle":"Helping Big Thinkers Create Big Ideas","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Y.","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3855092_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1473182242900","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3855092"},{"teacherId":3855092,"projectId":10526040,"letterContent":"The new charging station has made a big difference in our classroom! Before having a designated place to charge and organize our Logitech Crayons, it was difficult to keep track of which pencils were charged and ready to use. Now, each Crayon has its own charging cord and a specific place to be stored, making it easy for students to grab a charged pencil and get right to work. This simple organizational system has made our technology routines much smoother and has eliminated the frustration of discovering a pencil needs to be charged just when a student is ready to use it.\r\n\r\nMy students are especially excited that they can independently manage the Crayons and know exactly where to find them and where to return them when they are finished. The charging station has helped students take more responsibility for our classroom technology while allowing them to spend more time learning and creating and less time troubleshooting. Whether they are annotating, solving problems, designing, or creating digital projects, having a charged Logitech Crayon ready to go means their ideas don't have to wait.
