iPad to the Rescue!
Funded Sep 18, 2020
Thank you so much for your support. The iPad and Apple Pencil purchased for my classroom have been an invaluable resource during distance learning. With this amazing technology tool I am able to annotate directly on digital PDFs, copies of the text, and google slides tailored specifically for my students' needs. The colorful writing and images are engaging and keep the kids focused. Being able to share the screen and write in my own handwriting has allowed me to model letter formation, spacing, and line relationships. The list of positives from this device could go on and on. Thank you again for your generosity and support for teachers and our students.”
With gratitude,
Ms. Macy
This classroom project was brought to life by The DonorsChoose 20th Anniversary Fund and 22 other donors.

As we begin a new chapter in distance learning, I plan to use the iPad Pro and Apple Pencil to aid in student engagement and creation of interactive, exciting lessons. Because my students are learning to read, have speech and language delays, autism, and other disabilities we need pictures, pictures, and more pictures. Using the iPad Pro and Apple Pencil allows me to create lessons in Google Slides with ease. I will be able to record read alouds and post for viewing to meet family needs. The Apple Pencil is the real game changer, allowing me to markup lessons by adding words, labels, notes, visual supports, in my own handwriting. It is the perfect tool for teaching young readers and writers how to form letters, draw pictures, and write. Providing students with these models is invaluable and allows me to use programs such as Handwriting Without Tears to help my students succeed in their learning. This paired with my virtual classroom will support my students in an engaging, creative, and technology forward way. My students and I thank you so much for your support!
