Technology isn't going away so why not equip our students with the skills they need to be successful in the 21st century? Students will use the iPads and headphones to enhance their learning. Not only will they use apps that meet them where they are in their learning, but they will use apps to create projects! They will collaborate with each other to retell a story using the Sock Puppets app. The splitter and lapel microphones will help them be heard while working together. Students can become authors by writing a story and creating a digital book! Through Screen Chomp, an interactive white board app, they can record and show what they know on a map, for example, as an assessment. I can use Nearpod to bring the classroom to life with interactive mobile presentations! Nearpod and differentiated apps need headphones so as not to disrupt others. Giving low-income students access to new technology is an investment in their future. Students will learn 21st Century skills such as communication, collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking by applying what they've learned in a unique way. They will be able to take these skills and knowledge with them to improve their lives!
