  • We Need Technology that Supports Engaging Lessons

    Funded Sep 25, 2013

    I appreciate your support and donations to purchase an Ipad for our classroom. It is a valued piece of technology, that is being used to support student learning. The Ipad provides me with applications that allow me to access common core test generators and a wide variety of primary and secondary sources. Students find the common core styled lessons and exams challenging and engaging. I will continue to use this resource to provide students with hands on access to all digital materials for the class, and to model research strategies.

    Thank you,

    Mr. Rios”

  • Why Historians Needs Technology?

    Funded Jan 13, 2012

    I feel extremely fortunate to have had so much support for this project.

    Since we've received your donation we have used the technology

    extensively in class. I have used it to prepare and deliver technology

    based

    lessons, and to explore online resources for my students. Students have

    enjoyed the great access the tablet computer, and computer speakers

    provide to technology based resources. They are constantly working on

    lessons that

    demand them to use web-based resources, and develop technology

    based products. Students often use the technology to conduct research,

    as well as produce a variety of assessments. Students produce strong

    researched based presentations, using, word, publisher, and power-point.

    The technology you have provided certainly makes these lessons,

    projects, and presentations truly engaging for the students. Thank you

    all for your wonderful donation.”

    Mr. Rios

One of the great things about the middle school I work at is that we have a very diverse student body. My students come from a wide variety of backgrounds. They bring a variety of experiences, cultures, and opinions with them to the classroom. They are excited about learning. They love to explore the past. They aren't afraid to challenge one and other. They are caring considerate classmates. The middle school I work at is filled with caring, committed, strong teachers. The culture of the school is very positive, academically focused, and high performing.
