Funded Aug 21, 2020I wish to use this opportunity to thank you again for making my dreams of having a functionable ipad that is current with the virtual learning opportunities that will make it easy for me as a Visual Art teacher to teach my students effectively having the tool to carry them along with me virtually keeping a good record of every work of art that they put in every effort to produce since some of them cannot take a pictures of these art works and turn in their assignments. This is what my ipad helps me to do. Thank you.
The camera in this 7th Generation ipad allow me to shoot pictures of my students works and keep them for record purposes and monitoring of academic growth and virtual display of students works when they are needed. With over a million apps in this 7th Generation ipad I can easily delve into any area I want to teach the students at any time and find information on the useful tips relating to my subject matter relating to- Drawing, Painting, Sculpture, Ceramics, Textures, Art History, Cultures of different nations etc. There is always an app icon I can open and take the students to virtual field trip to see and understand better any area of art that we are going to do on a weekly basis and that without any doubt help to bring the lessons clearer to the students. This ipad will help me make video of my lessons for the substitute teacher.”

Funded Oct 21, 2016I wish to use this opportunity to thank you for making it possible for me to get a Surface Pro with which I am now using to my students delight to transform our projects into delightful and interesting art lessons which my students look forward to on a daily basis. My students are very grateful for this great opportunity of a lifetime and as such they look forward to our Visual Art Classes every day. You made lessons that were not possible for me to teach without resources possible with this well worth technology and I remain very grateful to you. Thank you very much.
With this Surface Pro, I now provide extensive visual images with video attached to individual
lessons bringing the subject matter closer and more meaningful to the students.
This Surface Pro has equipped me and my students with so much knowledge about Art and Culture that we can never imagined. Through art, students learn about the world that they do not know.
They learn artistic perception, creative perception, historical and cultural context as well as artistic valuing of works of art. The Visuals provided with this piece of technology has made my students enjoy talking about lives of artists and art history as I show the pieces of art works that made them famous. We discuss techniques of professional artists and look at visuals of priceless works of art.
In addition to techniques of professional artists, we also discuss techniques of local and indigenous artists to give students a clearer understanding of art production. We now visit museums we may never see on virtual tours right in the classroom- thanks to Surface Pro.
I draw several examples and project them to keep students engaged.
Technology in my classroom has definitely improved my students knowledge and interest in the Visual Arts through Visuals and Video of technologies in all the art forms. They see and learn better ( both students with special needs and students in regular class settings). As a result, their understanding of Visual Arts is off the charts with better visuals and videos about famous artists,
Museums, visual art work samples, processes and procedures.
Thank you my donors for making my dream a reality, thus promoting art in my classroom through the use of a better technology.”
