With your support, I will be able to bring technology back into my classroom. Having some Zenpad Tablets in the classroom will allow for different structures of learning in my classroom. One way they will be used is for literacy enrichment for struggling students. Our district utilizes a literacy based program for our struggling students but with the removal of the classroom desktop computers, we have minimal technology for all students in the school to now share which doesn’t allow much of an opportunity for my struggling students to complete their time on the program. It will also be an opportunity for all my students to work with a technology based device while working on a literacy or math based website to enrich their minds and strengthen their skills. I could download apps for various math or literacy practice skills which can be utilized in a math or literacy work center, which would allow me to have activities for both my highest performing and most struggling students. In order to protect our purchases and to ensure that our Zenpad Tablets will stay in one piece, the durable cases are essential! These cases will allow the devices to stand up as well as protect the screen from the children's accidents. The Zenpad Tablets and cases from you will expand the learning and academic opportunities for my students while preparing them for the 21st century!
