We saw instant results from our donor's choose experiments. Many of our families don't have the access to income to purchase technology for students. The year before the pandemic, we applied to donor's choose for support and we were awarded 10 tablets to support student learning in the classroom.
Students used the tablet for research. They were excited to have access to the tablets. We logged into Kahoot, Math Playground, Study Jams, and so many other interactive websites. Students that were introverts, found it easy to submit answers electronically.
George is a student with special needs. With the device, George can use the calculator tool in math to help him work at his own pace. Sometimes he uses the device to complete unfinished assignments from the previous day. His math scores have improved because he is moving at his own pace.”
With gratitude,
Mr. Rhone
This classroom project was brought to life by Verizon and 6 other donors.

The use of whiteboards is almost a daily activity in my classroom, especially in math. Using the workshop model in math, students come to the rug with whiteboards for guided practice and to record modeled strategies. The whiteboards allow me to see exactly what they are doing, as well as provide an easy place for them to show and share their work. What becomes a problem is a fact that the markers never seem to last, erasers seem to disappear, and the whiteboards slowly become stained from frequent use. When something goes awry, students know that they must leave the rug quietly to get a new marker, new eraser, or the last choice, pencil, and paper. Even though they are great about doing this, it is distracting for many of my students who have focusing issues and they miss important instruction from either myself or other students. By having interactive tablets equipped with applications, students will be able to avoid all of these problems and focus on increasing their learning! By donating to our project, you will help to improve and increase student attention and focus. Students will be able to simply focus on the academic material at hand, and not whether their materials are going to work or not. Plus in this technology literate world, any interaction with updated technology will increase their literacy as well as their desire to learn and use the new technology!
