From Chalk to Interactive Chemistry

Funded Oct 28, 2009

We are blessed. The gift that you have given our classroom has dramatically our classroom environment and my students' learning experience. Since receiving the RM Classpad we have received countless visitors to our classroom who have heard of the new technology and what it is doing to improve class. Students that could not see and participate in class before are eager and engaged. Students that chose not to participate before are engaged because of the technology and the increased pace of class. Special education and English Language Learners have little to no trouble knowing exactly what is going on, because every aspect of the lesson is visual. The students have responded with gratitude and enthusiasm. Here are a few student responses from a recent survey that I gave the students asking them to reflect on the impact of the RM Classpad on class instruction:

"I really like the Classpad because it makes class more engaging, and we don't loose as much time in class trying to take notes, or switching from one type of technology to another" ~Alejandro

"The Classpad makes class more fun, it helps me stay awake 1st period" ~Raul

"I couldn't see before because of the chalkboard, and now I don't ever have problems knowing what is happening in class" ~Yesenia Almost everyday I have someone ask about the new technology that we have and the impact it has made on our class. Our principal is currently working on funding for one for each department in the school. You have planted the seed for an instructional technology revolution at our High School, and I am deeply grateful.

Thank you for caring. Thank you for sharing. Thank you for giving to my students. We are deeply grateful. ”

With gratitude,

Mrs. Ploeger
