My Project

Learning is a passion for my students, and they love using technology to do so. It would be great if my students could use soothing apps on an iPad to help them relax.

With the iPad, I will upload our calm app for my special needs students to listen to and learn to relax on their own.

The apps will also be explained to my students in a way that they can understand. To make sure they make the most of the apps, I will also provide feedback and support.

The calming noises, white noises, and green noise sound apps I will use will make my students' days more productive. Overstimulated individuals need a chance to refocus to finish their day. It is my hope that these apps, along with the device, will keep my students focused and learning. Clorox wipes will also be used to disinfect iPads to reduce germ spread in the classroom. As part of my daily routine, I will also encourage my students to wash their hands frequently. Additionally, students will have access to hand sanitizer in the classroom.
