A Little Technology, A Lot More Learning!

Funded Aug 12, 2021

I still cannot thank you enough for all the support you provided in helping me get an iPad and Apple Pencil for my classroom. I was able to begin using it as soon as I got it powered up and have used it daily since.

I originally wanted the iPad to help with my progress monitoring, which has made such an impact on reducing the amount of time it takes me to chart things and monitoring my students. Now, instead of having to flip through a bunch of papers, I can open my notes on the iPad and all of the information I need is right at my fingertips. It has also helped keep things more private which is something I had not thought about before. Now my students' information is nowhere that it could possibly be seen by other students and that makes me feel even more grateful to be able to use this technology in my classroom.

Another way that I have been able to use the iPad is that I can have all of my teacher's editions of my books with me at all times. Since in all of my class periods except two, I am teaching multiple subjects, it makes it so much easier for me to go back and forth between the subjects because I'm not flipping through multiple books, I just have to go to another tab.

Overall, this technology has been a Godsend to myself and my students, even though they may not actually realize it. My classroom runs so much more smoothly thanks to this technology and I couldn't be more thankful to you for your donations and for helping me obtain it!”

With gratitude,

Mrs. Wood
