Funded Apr 12, 2021Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for your generous donation. You have opened up a new world of possibilities for my students. My students were thrilled to embark on a new journey with our Technology Center. Students were beyond excited to work with our new iPads. This new technology center has made learning more accessible and definitely much more fun and captivating for students. They can't wait until it is their turn to visit this new learning center.
Having iPads for the students has made a huge difference. We are using them to access various programs. One of the programs is Waterford Early Learning that targets math and literacy. Students struggled taking turn using our one classroom computer. Since they are young learners, they had a very hard time with the mouse and navigating windows. However, all of these difficulties are overcome with our new iPads. Students can easily navigate the program because of the touch screen capabilities. We can now have 3 students using the program at a time versus only one on the computer. I am hoping to expand this technology center soon through an additional donors choose project that has just been posted. So even more students can work with them at one time.
In addition, our new iPads have allowed us to incorporate new programs into our classroom that are interactive and highly engaging. We have started to use Splash Math and Boom Cards to support our learning. I look forward to incorporating even more learning applications to provide my students with an opportunity to grow and develop academically.
Once again, words can not express the gratitude that we all feel. You have sparked a new fire for learning in my students that will live on for years to come.”
With gratitude,
Ms. Herrera
