We are working hard each day to become better learners. The new class ipad has helped in many different ways.\r\nWe use the ipad: \r\n*To take pictures of students work.\r\n*To share and display student's work with the class. \r\n*To ease the teachers access to current technology- taking attendance, managing schedules, and displaying slides.\r\n*To make it easier for a substitute teacher be able to teach the class with access to the teacher's teaching tools.\r\n\r\n\"The second week of school we began to do math story problems. The ipad allowed students to share and explain their work so the whole class can see. This allows for greater class involvement and a deeper class discussion about how they figured out the problem.\"\r\n\r\nWe appreciate all that you have done to make teaching and learning more accessible in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1742503347898,"projectUrl":"project/the-digital-learning-powered-classroom/9144677/","projectTitle":"The Digital Learning Powered Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. McKell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8287114"},{"teacherId":9558114,"projectId":9146950,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous gift of an iPad and Apple pencil for my classroom!
