Funded Dec 9, 2022Thank you for sponsoring my project and giving my students an iPad and apple pencil to help them improve their math skills. In my classroom, I use the iPad and apple pencil as an effective and efficient instructional tool to foster basic math fluency of my students. I was able to prepare lessons for them that are more engaging and interactive. The iPad definitely increased student engagement and student access to the Common Core math curriculum that our school uses.
One thing I love with the project you have funded is that the iPad is very easy to use for special education students unlike laptops and chromebooks. When my students want to do groupwork they prefer to use the iPad and the apple pencil. They can graph easier using the apple pencil and using interactive websites like Desmos and Geogebra. Moreover using IXL as one of our school's math platform, my special education students find using the gadgets as very helpful tool.
I am incorporating games in the classroom as engagement tool so I let my students explore on Math applications in the iPad. They use the iPad for Kahoot, Quizziz, Jeopardy and puzzles. They also use iPad as note-taking tool and tool for taking pictures of notes and their handwritten work. It was evident on the end-of-year summative assessments I believe that this funded project will be used by my future classes to come. Thank you so much for your support!”
With gratitude,
