Throw Your Pencils Away and Rejoice!

Funded Oct 1, 2020

I wanted to take a moment to thank you for donating money to help us buy graphic tablets for our students. It has helped immensely, and has provided a new option for students to complete their math work online. Students are using these tablets to do math computations and draw math models in order to solve problems on their computers. It works similar to a stylus pen. Whatever students write or draw on their graphic tablet appears on their computer screen. It also helps me, as their teacher, to annotate their math work, and help them to correct their mistakes.

The students were super excited to be given this new piece of technology to use. Some students who had not been passing in their math work at all began passing it in on a regular basis. Also, I could tell that they enjoyed using it, as they consistently brought the device back and forth to school, so it would be accessible on their days in school, as well as their remote days.

Several students took the device a step further, and even began exploring the option of using it to create artwork. All and all, it has been a true success, and I am very appreciative.”

With gratitude,

Ms. Clay-Sirop
