  • Rise Up with Technology!

    Funded Dec 23, 2017

    My students have been exposed to a new way of viewing and using technology at school through learning. They have had the opportunity through a variety of lessons including Math, Reading, and English Language Arts to which computer technology enhanced learning. The Microsoft Surface Pro 4 Tablet has given my students ways to connect learning to a way different from traditional pencil and paper learning.

    In addition, the most exciting part about this Microsoft tablet has been that it has brought learning to life. My students are actively engaged in every lesson because of this new computer access. My students cannot wait to learn through computer learning! The excitement level for learning has risen dramatically!

    Finally, I have a few students that refused to attempt and/or complete assignments the traditional way. The Microsoft tablet has changed their attitudes regarding learning. They are very enthusiastic about learning now! They continually ask, "What lessons are we doing on the computer today!" It is absolutely amazing how a computer and technology can motivate students in such a positive and powerful way! My students and I are so thankful and grateful for all donors to this project!”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Cowins

  • Rise Up with Technology II!

    Funded Dec 21, 2017

    My students have been exposed to a new way of viewing and using technology at school through learning. They have had the opportunity through a variety of lessons including Math, Reading, and English Language Arts to which computer technology enhanced learning. The Microsoft Surface Pro 4 Tablet has given my students ways to connect learning to a way different from traditional pencil and paper learning.

    The most exciting part about the cover, pen, and stand case is that these accessories support the Microsoft tablet. These products have helped students in the learning process. For example, students with poor penmanship can now use the pen to facilitate and enhance learning. My students are actively engaged in every lesson because of this new computer access. My students cannot wait to learn through computer learning! The excitement level for learning has risen dramatically!

    Finally, I have a few students that refused to attempt and/or complete assignments the traditional way. The Microsoft tablet and the accessories have changed their attitudes regarding learning.

I am requesting a Microsoft Surface Pro tablet. This technology will allow my students to be actively engaged in lessons by giving them a hands-on approach to the latest technology while learning. This Microsoft Surface Pro tablet will help facilitate student learning by meeting a variety of their learning modalities such as: visual, auditory and kinesthetic. This advanced technology will give my students access to the most advance ways to meet state standards requirements. My students will be more successful by using this Microsoft Surface Pro because they can have more hands-on opportunities to learn. I feel like many of my Special Education students are at a disadvantage because they have difficulty using technology because computers of this type are limited. This touchscreen device would give them better access to promote academic growth and overall achievement on mandated testing. This tablet would be used in my classroom to help drive instructions for all students.
