My Students

My students love the iPod Touches that we have in our classroom. The problem is that it is hard for twenty-two students to share them. I would like to add three more iPod Touches so more students can use the apps that I have selected for skill reinforcement.

I have a terrific group of twenty-two techie second graders.

They love all forms of technology and often teach me how to use the latest tech gadgets. Our school is huge with approximately 700 K-5 students. There are five classes at every grade level. The education budgets in our state have been slashed and the picture looks bleak for next year. Acquiring new technology will be very difficult through our annual budget process due to the cuts that will have to be made.

My Project

I would like three iPod Touches and protective cases so I can increase the size of our iPod learning center for my students. The iPod Touches are extremely popular with my students and are currently used in all subject areas. There are hundreds of educational games for almost every skill that elementary students need to learn. I am able to download specific apps to match the needs of my students. They also use them for listening to stories, taking photos and recording each other reading aloud.

I continually try to find ways to acquire new technology for my second graders.

Thankfully, Donors Choose and some wonderful donors have helped us get some iPod Touches for our classroom. These iPod Touches allow me to differentiate learning in all subject areas for my students. I can target specific skills for each child. With your help, we can really "touch" the future of my students by expanding the iPod Touch center in my classroom, so more students will be able to use the iPods each day.
