Small-Group Instruction Through Handheld Technology
Funded Jan 31, 2012It is with much gratitude and many heartfelt thanks that I write this message to you on behalf of our class.
Thanks to your generosity, we have been able to access the incredible educational power of the iPod Touch. In small groups, my students have worked with these devices to build skills in math computation, sight word recognition, reading comprehension, and critical thinking. We have also used a dictation app for individual students to draft their writing verbally, allowing their ideas to flow more naturally. Perhaps most exciting of all, we are in the process of using a movie-making app to create a video about a recent field trip. Not only is this app a wonderful tool for reflection and creativity, but using it to its full potential helps all students learn how to work more effectively in groups.
Using the iPod Touch has been incredibly engaging for my students. When I see virtually all of them excited to practice math facts - because now it is with a fun and creative app rather than a set of flash cards - I know this gift you have given us is making a huge difference.
Thank you again for supporting the education of our wonderful students. ”
