My Students

As our community grows, our class sizes do too! Technology is becoming such a vital part of the elementary classroom, and I want to give my students multiple opportunities to interact with technology every single day.

My first grade students love technology.

They love to use iPads, iPods, netbooks, and computers every day! My district makes the integration of technology a priority. However, due to budget cuts the number of students in our classes grow much quicker than the amount of technology that is placed into our hands. I currently have four students at each table and I only have three iPod Touches - meaning that one pair must share during their tables turn to use the devices. I would like to add one iPod Touch so each student at the table can use the device independently. Eventually I would like to have enough so each table can have one iPod for whole group instruction.

My Project

With four iPods, each student at the table will utilize the device during Daily 5 (part of our literacy block). Students will use apps to listen to stories, read books on their individual reading level, and play games to reinforce math and word skills. By adding any additional iPods, students will not need to share the device during our Daily 5 block. Also, when we want to use the iPods whole group, each table will be able to have a device.

This project is important to me because I love utilizing technology in my first grade classroom.

I work hard to give my students every opportunity possible to interact with technology in healthy ways that increase their learning.
