My Students

We are a class of 20 diverse, inquisitive five to six year olds. We come to school excited to learn everyday. We love finding new ways to express our ever-growing knowledge. "Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn." -Benjamin Franklin

Some of our students come to school not speaking or understanding the English language.

Some of our students have had limited exposure to technology. Some have never held a pencil. Students learn and discover their abilities in a non-threatening way when they are able to work with an interactive learning tool. Applications are readily available to challenge students no matter where they are in their learning. This creates an optimal learning environment with less frustration.

My Project

I would like to equip my class with ten more iPad minis with protective covers so they can become comfortable with technology when they are at the foundation of their learning. Kindergarten and first grade are perfect times to introduce the wonders of technology and open up a whole world of learning and creativity. I want my students to experience new and exciting ways to learn without feeling like they are learning. I want them to experience how much fun it can be to explore and learn in various content areas. I also want to open up doors to creativity. With iPads, I could have students take videos of their learning, snap pictures of their friends or a project that has been completed, or have students interview each other for a school wide video. The possibilities are endless. Give a 5/6 year old the chance and they will surpass your expectations.

There is nothing better than watching a student's face light up when they realize that they are able to create an amazing piece of work and share it with not only our class but the entire school.

By putting iPads in the hands of my students, we open up the world. My class is now using the SeeSaw e-portfolio which connects their learning immediately to their parents. With ten more iPad minis, we would be able to empower more students with the ability to share with parents.
