Students who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing need Technology

Funded May 23, 2024

Thank you for your generous donation. As of this date, all of my students have benefited from using the iPad, Magic Keyboard and Pencil. I have now created digital notebooks, which also eases my day to day carrying load. Since I am an itinerant teacher and travel from school to school on a daily basis, having a lightweight back pack is key. Now that my students have a digital notebook, I am able to upload screen shots of reading materials/articles, together we use the apple pencil to underline key words or define unknown words, then can share this work directly to our google classroom or their personal google drive so that they can access this material on their own time. Utilizing the IPAD I am able to incorporate creative activities that allow my students to draw and edit any of their work. Whats most exciting for my students is the opportunity to use 1 piece of technology in a variety of ways which allows our sessions to become even more engaging.

All of my students - ages kindergarten to 8th grade have really warmed up to the iPad and how I present my lessons. Not only do I use the White board to re-teach and further explain concepts, they too can add to my re-teaching using their background knowledge. Thank you for your donation- I can see the positive impact it has had on my teaching and in reaching my students.”
