Learning Through Games
Funded Jan 20, 2020Thank you so much for your support and believing in our classroom! The students will really benefit from playing these games. As an educator I greatly enjoy it when I see my students learning without knowing that they are learning. We are eager for their arrival and we can't wait to start using them. Donors like you make it possible for me to do my job effectively. Thank you for your contribution and making the world a better place!”

Learning Through Technology
Funded Nov 28, 2018My students LOVE our new tablets. As soon as they arrived I downloaded numerous apps onto the tablet. I downloaded reading apps, math apps, writing apps and phonics apps. The apps are an integral part of my daily instruction. I am able to assign different students to work on different subject areas depending on their needs For example, if a student needs help with comprehension I will assign them a reading app where they will reads books and answer questions about the book..
The apps that are downloaded allow them to learn in a manner that is different from traditional learning where there is a teacher in front of the class teaching to all the children. The tablets allow them to interact with the apps.. They are able to learn one on one through games ( the students think that they are playing a game but they are actually practicing a skill that they need to master).
All my students are so excited to use the tablets everyday.. I see disappointment on there faces when they do not get a turn on the tablet on any given day since we only have 6 tablets. I also use the tablets as an incentive for 2 of my students who have behavior issues and who also refuses to do any school work. I use the tablets to get them to behave better and to attempt to complete some of their school work. We have a behavior plan set up where they will get time on the tablet playing one of the many educational games if they behave and attempt to complete their work.
We can't imagine our classroom without our tablets.. They are the BEST!!”
