My Students

Technology is an inevitable part of every child's future. Most children have already had significant exposure to technology, i.e. Smartphones, ipads, cable/TV, laptops, etc. In our classroom, we want to use technology constructively and not as a time filler.

Our Pre-K students attend an inner city Title 1 school.

We became a Magnet school with a museum theme a few years ago. We are surrounded by wonderful art centers, museums, and other opportunities that support our theme. Our students are very diverse. We have many languages and cultures represented. Our class is also very diverse economically. Some children live in the government housing across the street, the doctors housing on the other side, or the luxury buildings within walking distance that encompasses upper middle class and low income eligible families. Many of our children are exposed to wonderful learning opportunities at home or in the community. However, many of these first experiences, like playing with clay or using technology, are in the classroom.

My Project

We are requesting 3 ipads and child friendly stands to use in conjunction with our curriculum. The ipads will be used for various functions, i.e. take pictures, create a comic book to teach others, create PSAs using imovie, stories online, and go on virtual museum tours of far away places. There are so many apps that will support math and science. These ipads will be added to the few we already have in our classroom. This will allow for smaller groups to work on projects together, 3 children at a time instead of 4 or 5. The ipads will primarily be used during center time, about 20-30 minutes a number of times a month. Some ipad activities will be teacher guided and others will be used independently. During teacher directed activities the children will learn content and applications of technology. During independent work the children will have academic content reinforced as well as developing confidence through their independence.

Your donation will give our students the ability to utilize current technology in a world were it grows by leaps and bounds.

We want the children to be 21st Century learners, so we must give them access to the tools that helps them meet that goal. This donation will give children access to more technology in the classroom. ipads are teaching tools that allow children to be independent learners too. ipads allow us to help expand the children's learning environment into the world at large.
