My Students

No more pencils, no more books - that's right! Technology has taken over and our kids need to change with the times! Technology has become so popular in the classroom and has opened doors of opportunity for these young learners.

The students I have the privilege of teaching are amazing!

I am a public school teacher in New York and have been teaching for fifteen years. I love the school and the children that attend it. They are special children with incredible abilities. What makes these children amazing is the fact that many of the children come from homes in which their parents are immigrants - many of which do not speak English and are uneducated themselves. These children have been raised to understand the importance of an education. All of the children come from a lower socioeconomic community and they are all entitled to free breakfast and lunch every day. Their parents are hard workers who try their best to provide for their children. They work to make ends meet and it's fair to say that these children are not privileged enough to have computers or updated technology in their homes.

My Project

My students will be given the opportunity to stimulate and encourage their learning through the use of an Apple iPad. The use of the iPad will help reinforce different math and reading skills with a variety of apps. It can also engage students that need an additional challenge. Students will have the ability to use the latest technology to review and reinforce math skills, sorting and word building, reading, writing, as well as many other educational apps that are available.

Help our students soar by donating to our iPad project.

This iPad will really help inspire my students to investigate topics further that we've learned in class. Using an iPad will truly be an experience the students will treasure forever!
