Tablets for All Learners: Integrating Technology into All Subjects!
Funded May 4, 2017Thank you again for your generous donations. My students are very excited to have the new Kindle Fire tablets to use in the classroom every day. My students work independently and in collaborative groups to design and create differentiated learning task and projects.
Some examples of how we use the tablets in the classroom setting are as follows: My students use the tablets to complete individual learning task that involves doing research for writing, accessing on line leveled reading materials to increase their reading abilities, and they visit math websites to practice and increase their math skills. In addition to that, my students also use the tablets in collaborative learning groups to record and create presentations/movies to show their learning in social studies and science. We have used the tablets to create movies where the students' create goggle slides and insert their videos that they create to teach other students about simple machines, record their findings in owl pellets, as we dissect and discuss food chains, and design, create and test their own covered wagons to show how our westward expansion evolved. by having these tablets the students are able to go beyond the typical textbook and create and explore new resources to show and share their learning.
By providing my students with these tablets you have given them a window to the world. They can go on virtual field trips, talk with other students in other countries, and explore new and exciting things. Thank you again for your generosity and know that you have made a difference in my students' lives.”

Please know that your generosity has made a definite impact on each and every one of my students.

Bringing the World into the Classroom!
Funded Jan 1, 2014I can't fully express my joy, excitement, and thanks for your donation to my project. It is great to see that you share my vision for reaching children in new and exciting ways.
My class was so overjoyed to hear the news that our digital camera was funded. The happiness and leaning excitement that this tool will bring will be instrumental in our classroom. We have many ideas of how to use this new camera, including recording short video clips and voice overs, capturing our learning with digital media, and creating movies to showcase our learning. None of these ideas would be a possibility if it weren't for your help.
Thank you so much. I can't wait to use this iPad with my students!”
