Funded Aug 23, 2016Dear Donors,
On behalf of my students and myself, I want to thank you again for your donations to my project. You have made it possible for me to provide my students the opportunity to use regularly technology. They look forward to building their reading and computation abilities. For example, the use of the tablets allows students to be focus on their learning in an up and close way. They listen to and read stories as well as answer comprehension questions in a relaxed manner.
After surveying my students' engagement when using technology in the classroom, I can say definitely that they are excited. For example, they are eager to operate the learning tool as well as put down the "paper and pencil."
Also, they enjoy the visual and audio features that are provided by various programs such as Brain Pop, Cool Math Games, Starfall, and MyOn.
Although, all of my students are ecstatic to have and use the tablets, I believe the ELLs and struggling learners truly are thrilled. Simply, they have a personal device that helps them improve their learning. For example, they do not have to be concern solely about relying on their classmates and teacher to help them to learn. It is these reasons why I continue to find ways to empower my students to develop into active learners.”
With gratitude,
Ms. Howard
