The use of a classroom whiteboard was something I utilized daily in my classroom, but currently I don't have one as I moved into another classroom. With 32 kindergarten students I need to teach and no whiteboard I heavily rely on my iPad to provide visuals for the little ones. The reason why I need to project my work is because I have 32 students and only 4 desks that can seat 16 students and therefore I must do everything at the rug area. It allows my students to see exactly what I am doing, as well as provide an easy place for them to show and share their work. What becomes a problem is the fact that my iPad is very sensitive and with one touch our work disappears. When something goes awry, students know that they must wait on the rug quietly while I start all over. Even though they are great about doing this, it is distracting for many of my students who have focusing issues and they miss important instruction from either myself or other students. By having an Apple Pencil, my students and I will be able to avoid all of these problems and focus on increasing their learning without having to constantly start from the beginning! By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement. Students will be able to simply focus on the lessons that are being delivered, and their little fingers don’t have to get frustrated when their work disappears on the iPad because it’s so sensitive. Plus in this technology literate world, any interaction with updated technology will increase their literacy as well as their desire to learn and use the new technology.
