My Students

These first graders are eager to learn through technology! However they are only able to use the school computer lab for 25 minutes once per week! Being able to use an iPad during class time will open up a whole new world of technology integration into literacy!

I teach at a low-income, Title 1 school with great diversity.

Our school is working to create a wide range of learning experiences for the students which includes a greater knowledge of technology. Many of these students have no access to technology outside of public resources! However, I have seen my student's eagerness to learn from technology! They enjoy the interactivity of the digital learning when we use the Smart Board and the time we are able to use the computer lab!

My Project

With the use of an iPad air and 5 headphones in my classroom the students will be able to have a listening and reading comprehension station. They will be able to sit with a small group and interact with stories and educational applications. They will be able to read and listen to a vast variety of texts! They will be able to play team games that promote literacy and math comprehension. They will learn how to take turns, share and be responsible with technology! They will learn how to use and navigate an Apple iPad, one of the most popular brands of technology during their time! There are endless possibilities for the students to learn with these materials!

By donating to this project you will not only help these students to learn how to use technology you will help them to become eager and active learners.

They will be better equipped for the technological changes coming to education! They will be academically stronger than their peers without these resources! Your donation will greatly impact their lives!
