Technology for Mrs. Erwin's Room!
Funded Aug 26, 2014I can't thank you enough for you generous iPad donations. It is incredible to have all 24 of my students not only using technology on a daily basis in my classroom, but also it is helping reinforce standards that I am teaching each and every day.
When I received the iPads, I took a few days to download several educational applications for my students to use. I wish I would have filmed my kids when I told them that we would be using iPads every day in our classroom. Their reactions were completely priceless. Many of my students do not have access to technology in their homes, so the fact that they get to play educational games several times a week on iPads at school made them very happy. To say my students were excited would be an understatement.
As mentioned above, I took the first few days after receiving the iPads to download all types of applications, both reading and math. We now have 20 different games for the students to play on the iPads that focus of letter identification, letter sounds, reading, phonics, sight words, number identification, addition, subtraction, and shapes. These are the standards that we are currently working on. It is amazing to be able to teach my students these standards, both in whole group and small group, and then to know that the skills are being reinforced when my students are using the iPads. We use the iPads as independent workstations.
Again, thank you so much for your donations. I love that I am able to teach my students about how technology can help them learn. My students and I can not thank you enough for what you have done for us.”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Erwin
