Technology for the Collaborative Classroom

Funded Jan 25, 2012

Once again, thank you all for your generous contributions! The project that you helped fund has truly made a tremendous impact on the lives of our students! The Smart Board activities funded have brought to life ALL of our curriculum from Social Studies, Science, Math and Language arts to Second language learning and independent work time! The interactive programs purchased through Donor's Choose are being used for a multitude of purposes. The Special Needs students in our class are utilizing this technology to assess the curriculum with greater ease. The technology brings to life the curriculum for them in a way that utilizes visual, tactile and audio components to give them more opportunities for comprehension.

Similarly, the second language learners are provided the same access to the curriculum through all of the modalities of learning. The see, hear and can "touch" the concepts of the lessons through the use of the Smart Board programs.

The high achieving students are using these programs for enrichment activities that engage and delight their imaginations. And the student's with age appropriate abilities are more actively engaged in daily activities because the concepts being taught are reinforced by the technology they can readily access!

On behalf of our students, please accept our gratitude for all that you have done for us. We truly appreciate your hard work and dedication to making Donor's Choose such a successful! ”

With gratitude,

Mr. Spencer
