Helping Diverse Learners Succeed During Remote Learning!
Funded Jan 12, 2021
Thank you for the donations that you made! The iPad is helping my diverse learners visualize math problems right in front of them. I am able to solve problems step by step for students, especially those that need it broken down. Since a lot of my students are online, the students are able to see problems being solved with them. The pen is a great help because I can use it to write on the Jamboard which is helpful to my diverse learners. The Airpods is helping me from having my own headset and not distracting the other students in person.
My students were so excited to hear that we had this technology donated to the classroom. They love being able to visually see problems being done right in front of them. It is useful for note taking as well.
The diverse learners and the visual learners have definitely benefited from the iPad and pencil. Having problems written on a whiteboard was hard to follow along. All of the technology has positively impacted the classroom and all of the students.”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Nikezic
This classroom project was brought to life by CAA (Creative Artists Agency) and 4 other donors.

I work in a low income school in the city of Chicago. My classroom consists from 26 students. Out of the 26 students I have 9 that are diverse learners. All of them are English Language Learners. These students need additional help and support for in person learning, however E-learning is so much more difficult. We are in a unique situation right now, and the students are going through a hard time. Learning has all of a sudden become more difficult for my diverse and English Language Learners. They are a sweet and caring wonderful group of students who are eager to learn. The first item that would help my students learn is the IPad which works well when presenting to students and using a whiteboard to visually solve problems. I want to be able to portray mathematical operations. I want students to follow along with me while reading- in order to follow each word. I will be able to underline and highlight using the apple pen that I chose to go with the IPad. Some of my students have trouble hearing me through the computer which is why I chose the Airpods. I wish the situation was different and I would be able to see my students in person, and in my classroom. We would be able to do more hands-on learning, as most of them would benefit from it. Unfortunately, this is not the case. The least I can do for my students to make the school day/ classroom experience "normal" is to use the whiteboard and be able to clearly present my instructions/ step-by-step instruction. Due to their language barriers, they would benefit from highlighting/underlining texts. Thank you in advance for all of the support during these difficult times.
