Get "Fired" Up for Learning!

Funded Oct 23, 2018

Thank you so much for helping my students love learning. Technology is a fantastic way to engage students in all subjects; engagement is the primary reason I created this project. My class and I feel blessed to have devices to use in our classroom. Before this project was funded we had 5 chrome books to use for my entire class of 27; while I was thankful for that technology I wanted the ability for more of my students to use technology at one time. Now that we have our devices we are able to do so much more than before. My students have used and continue to use the devices for Math, Language Arts, Social Studies and Science. We use them for independent center work, group work, research and review.

My students really enjoy using the devices. When they hear we will be using Kindles for a lesson or project they are all ears to hear what we're doing. I have students asking to use the Kindles for, GASP....learning, when they finish their work. We have used the devices to practice Math, play Math games, complete research for our Christmas Around the World papers. Students who didn't love to read, have grown because they are reading books on the Kindle and it's more fun for them; more interactive. Students have also really gotten excited about using them in groups for review games such as Kahoot, we like to use this for Science and Social Studies.”
