Charging iPads

Help me give my students new iPad chargers. Many of our chargers are old and no longer charging our iPads. We use them for many things from gathering information, applying skills we've learned, and sharing our learning.

My Students

I have 20 students in my class. The class has seven boys and thirteen girls. Six of these students have special learning needs, one student has a life threatening illness, and five receive additional services for reading and math outside of special education programs. The class completes numerous activities on iPads throughout the year. We use them for reading activities, research, math lessons, and county mandated programs. Students take all of their reading and math tests using the Schoology program on our class iPads. We are in a low income community.

My Project

Our students use iPads for many learning activities during the school day. We currently have 2 iPads for every student in the class. We use them to research topics, apply what we've learned to new situations, create projects, complete assessments, and participate in mandated programs which include statewide testing, ST Math, and Achieve 3000. Due to the age of our iPads, many of the chargers are no longer working. It is difficult to keep the devices charged to accomplish our daily technology activities. Waiting on charging devices or having to share beyond the 2:1 ration due to uncharged devices interferes with our learning timeline.
