Apples for a Teacher

Help me give my students the best online, or in-person, experience. I have an Apple classroom and I currently only have an old Chromebook. Having an Apple device would allow me to share videos.

My Students

I have an inner-city class that rotates between two teachers. The students often come to us from poverty, homelessness, and other countries as refugees. They have very little in terms of supplies and even less experience with technology.

I want to prepare my students for the 21st century, and it is heavily reliant on technology.

My students want to succeed, but they need help. They need someone to invest in their future and give them the tools they need to compete with students in their generation who have these tools readily available.

My Project

I am asking for an IPad that will help me to keep up with my students. They are Apple users too and we have many issues connecting devices.

Apple devices are superior and allow the most up to date lessons in technology.

I need to prepare my students for learning how to use technology so they can compete with other students from schools with more funding allocated to technology.

The IPad will be used to create and display multifaceted presentations. The students will create videos, integrate information, and present STEM projects. If we learn from home, they can share videos and we can combine them to create interdisciplinarily presentations.
