The New Wave of Classroom Lectures

Funded Apr 19, 2023

Thank you so much for your generous donation to my classroom. With an updated iPad and Apple Pencil, I was able to create an enhanced learning environment for my students. I took notes digitally and projected them to the students, provided digital access to notes, and I used the iPad to elevate group projects and lab assignments. Thankfully, I am now mobile around the classroom with the new tech, and I am no longer chained to my desk using an outdated document camera or my computer.

My students became more involved in the note-taking process, had a better ability to take notes alongside me in real time, and gained increased access to digital notes. They often made comments like "This Ipad is nicer! It works better, and it's easier to read!" or they asked questions like "Can we have access to these notes or videos after the lesson if we don't get all the information right now?" With these tools, the student learning experience became better because I was able to meet the needs of more diverse learners.

Many of my colleagues witnessed how well the "New Wave of Classroom Lectures" went in my classroom, and they are interested in integrating a piece of technology into their lectures. They can see how the students respond to the visual learning aid in a positive way and my increased ability to reach more students.

I am deeply appreciative of your support in my classroom.”
