My Students

"In times of change, learners inherit the earth, while they learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists." Eric Hofer. I want my students to be equipped for their futures and ready to challenge the world around them.

I have the best bunch of 6th graders a teacher could ask for.

I teach 50 of the most energetic, excited, eager learners! We are in a public school in Iowa. My students are eager to learn and eager to learn about the world around them. In our studies, we cover various countries and we read about people from various cultures. I would like to take that so much further. By using this piece of technology, I could help them communicate in "real time" with people from all over the world and create projects that foster their learning.

My Project

By granting us this "wish", you are opening a world of opportunity for my students. Through access to the Internet, Skype, Facetime, apps, and voice recordings, my students will have the tools needed to be 21st Century learners. The iPod will be used to support the curriculum in myriad ways.

My district is comprised of a wide variety of socio-economic statuses, ethnicities, and abilities.

I want to bridge the gap with my students by giving them equal access to technology in my classroom. These are not skills that are learned for a day or a week. They are learned for a lifetime. Through your generous gift, you have the opportunity to take part in positively impacting the lives of all my students to come.
