The use of technology is a daily activity in, not only my classroom, but across the district due to the pandemic. Using google classroom, students access all lessons, prerecorded videos, and can communicate with me when they have questions. They also complete and submit all work through email or google classroom. No hard copies are permitted in our district at this time. Regardless of whether they are hybrid learning (two days a week) or fully remote learning, they are expected to access all school related items using any electronic device. What becomes a problem is the fact that the district does not have enough computers for every classroom across five schools. So, students are expected to be bring a device back and forth to school (hybrid) or be able to work on something at home (remote). For the hybrid students, if they do not have a device to bring on the days they attend, I do not have anything to give them and we are unable to provide hard copies of assignments. By having iPads, 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, you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement. Students will be able to simply focus on the academic material at hand, and not that they don’t have a way to access the material. 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!
