iPad, Technology, Learning, Oh My!
Funded Aug 23, 2014My students and I can't thank you enough for your donations to fulfill this project. The excitement on their faces when I told them that the IPAD minis were ours to keep and use in the classroom was priceless. My students couldn't wait to help me with the IPAD setup, deciding on a login passcode, and then discussing what kind of apps we should download.
They were so considerate, keeping in mind the various levels of each other that they made sure there was Pre-School applications for my students to learn the alphabet, as well as higher level applications for other students to use. Many also had to make sure that I was going to download First In Math and Reading Eggs so they could sit on the floor and play instead of sitting at their desks on the laptops or at the desk top computers in the back of the room.
Thank you again. The difference in my students interest using different applications has increased and I can't wait to see how well their academics improve throughout the year.”

Funded Sep 13, 2014My students and I can't thank you enough for your donations to fulfill this project. The excitement on their faces as I unpacked the Hokki Stools and the Chair Socks was priceless. My students couldn't wait to try to put the socks on their chairs themselves. It was tough but they did it!
The first time we did Guided Reading and no one had to drag chairs was absolutely amazing. We were able to get so much more done without wasting time moving chairs. The children love the stools and now can't wait for Guided Reading!
Thank you once again!”
