My Project

Help me secure an Apple pencil for my classroom use.

An Apple pencil will allow my students to graph Algebraic function on our classroom iPad.

In this day and age, when technology has taken over all aspects of our lives, it is important for students to use technology to do Math. So, later in the future, they will be able to use this skill in college and workforce, rather than being unfamiliar with it. My students are all students of color from low-income communities, who strive to be the first in their family to go to college and enter workforce as an educated person.

I would love for my students to have access to more technology in a traditional paper and pencil classroom.
