iPads From the Current Century That Kids Can Actually Use

Funded Apr 14, 2023

Thank you so much for your generosity! Our class has been so excited to use the new iPads for academic tasks and social emotional learning games. The iPads we received from you are 9th generation iPads and are currently able to update to the latest version of apple software. The iPads we had from our school district are 2nd and 3rd generation iPads. They could no longer be updated which means the applications were sluggish and kicked students out while they were working.

Our students have been so excited to see the new iPads and explore the Boom! Cards where they get the chance to match letters, numbers, practice math facts, build words, and review coping strategies to help them better regulate themselves. They have been working on them 1 on 1 with teacher support but as they become familiar with them they will do more on their own.

Some of our students have limited verbal communication and using the iPad is a great way to assess their understanding of academic concepts when they cannot tell us in typical ways. These iPads will not only help all of our students grow in their academics but also their independence.”

With gratitude,

Ms. Kruzick
