It allows them to learn in more interactive, personalized ways — for example, through hands-on digital activities, real-time feedback, and access to resources that fit their learning styles. Students are not just consuming information; they're creating, experimenting, and collaborating. This has made learning more meaningful and has boosted both confidence and participation.\r\n\r\nOur students are especially excited about how the new product makes learning feel more like play. They love being able to explore topics visually and interactively, whether that's through simulations, creative projects, or collaborative tools. It gives them ownership of their learning, and they're genuinely enthusiastic to dive in every day.\r\n\r\nYes! Some of our quieter or more hesitant students have really come out of their shells since we introduced this technology. For instance, we can use it to more examples and practice problems. It's been wonderful to see their confidence grow as they realize how capable they are with these new tools.","fullyFundedDate":1740949795061,"projectUrl":"project/pi-in-the-sky-unlocking-math-creativit/8954750/","projectTitle":"“Pi in the Sky: Unlocking Math Creativity With An iPad”","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. C.
