Developing Language Through Technology

Funded Feb 5, 2016

Dear Donors,

I would like to express my gratitude for funding such an important project. My students have had the opportunity to use the iPads throughout the day. They work on basic language activities such as sentence building, matching pictures with words, and reading small stories that help build vocabulary and comprehension.

Overall all my students have raised internal scores from the beginning of the year. In part I credit using the iPads because it has given them an opportunity to get extra practice in these skills and has helped them manipulate questions on a technological device. Having to opportunity to practice on a daily basis has reduced stress when doing a test on a computer because they are more prepared to read questions with ease. When speaking in complete sentences they are now more cognizant of the vocabulary they use to be more expressive.

My students look forward to iPads rotations everyday and enjoy working on skills in a fun way. I will continue to use these iPads to help me raise language skills for all children in my class. Thanks a million for your kind gesture and giving back to our students and community. I will continue the legacy by allowing future students the same opportunities.”

With gratitude,

Ms. Martinez
