  • Technology for My Blended Learning Classroom!

    Funded Mar 13, 2021

    Thank you all so much for your generous donation and allowing my class to have more access to technology in my classroom. This Ipad has made it possible to access different applications that are beneficial to my special education students. Many of my students have difficulty with writing, so apps with speech to text help my students to get their ideas out. This has made it easier for students to complete their writing assignments and has taken a lot of pressure off of them. They are able to get their work done and are able to really articulate their ideas to me.

    My students really enjoy having time to go on the Ipad and using the fun learning games I was able to download for them. When my students are done with classroom assignments they are allowed to play one learning game on the Ipad. The learning games are their favorite. They love playing Kahoot, duolingo, starfall, and khan academy. My students helped to choose the apps that they wanted based on their interests and needs.

    My students who have been have writing issues through the years have really liked using this technology. It has allowed them to use speech to text to complete assignments and be able to engage more fully in class. When they are not able to complete assignments the same as other students it would bring down his self esteem. This has allowed him and other students to engage in my lessons and complete assignments better. This has really made a change in my students learning experience.”

Getting this iPad will allow for my classroom to have better plans and preparation for online learning experiences with my students. I am working with both in-person students and fully remote students, and new technology would really help. I am looking to replace my out-of-date work laptop that cannot function with the latest apps and software for this new online learning format. I am looking to fully engage my Special Education students this year, and new technology will make that a little easier and a lot more fun for my students. My students will be able to better engage in lessons and use the latest software and apps that will enhance their learning in ELA and Math specifically. My students and I will be able to create more materials and have a better camera for students to see me when we are learning together on Google Meet or Zoom. The new software and apps will allow me to keep track of all of my students' activity and gauge their learning needs in specific content areas.
