The use of technology is almost a daily activity in my classroom in reading, cognitive development, literacy, and math. Using the workshop model, students use technology along with teacher support for guided practice. The technology allows me to see exactly what they are doing in reading and math programs. By having tablets, students will be able to avoid all of these problems and focus on increasing their learning! By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, but you will also ultimately help to increase their academic achievement. 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!
