Help Us Integrate Technology in Our 4th Grade Stations
My students need three iPads to integrate technology into our 4th grade classroom. Help us get iPads to create a technology station to make learning more fun and hands-on!
"I don't use technology in my classroom because it's a buzzword or trend. I use it because connecting my kids with the world will prepare them for the future!" - Unknown
Teaching technology and learning through online games is engaging and rewarding for the students, and they LOVE it!
My fourth graders attend a high poverty level elementary school in Missouri where we have more than 23% of the students eligible for free or reduced cost lunch.
Our school district has very high standards for the students.
Technology is such an important part of our lives and students need to know how to use them. Having the opportunity to use iPads for learning in the classroom gives our students the advantage that they need for the future.
My Project
My students would use the three iPad minis during literacy and math stations. There are many apps for iPads that reinforce the fourth grade standards that I teach. They would also be able to go to websites that supplement our reading and math programs. By using technology all learner needs are met, from remediation to enrichment!
Putting technology in the hands of my students will allow me to assist students who need enrichment or modifications. Some students do not have the opportunity to get on the Internet or to play educational games from home. Adding three iPad minis that would be accessible anytime during our day would help my students meet their personal goals and help me teach the way they learn.
Getting this project funded will help my 4th graders in so many ways.
My goal is to get an iPad in every student's hands! Our children will have to do everything on computers the way our technology world is going. The earlier we can teach kids to use them and be proficient on them the better.
