Crosby Band TV and iPad Project

My students need a 50 inch TV with wall mount to replace a projector (on cart) that takes up classroom space. The iPad is for student/teacher to utilize music education apps.

My Students

My school serves the biggest population of middle school students in our state. Enrollment is roughly 1,400 and I teach 15% of the population. My students have a lot of creativity and are learning real life connections through music and technology.

My students are incredible people who are making a difference in this world.

They come from all walks of life and learn to work together and become a family. Our school has a rich tradition of excellence and the music program is one of the key courses that make our school such a great place to learn. My students continually raise the bar and in doing so I must reach higher as their teacher.

My Project

The materials requested will replace outdated technology that is currently in the classroom. The TV with wall mount will replace an existing cart with projector. This cart that is currently a part of the classroom layout, takes up approximately three chairs. That is 3 more students we could fit in our band classroom! The i Pad will be utilized through our Apple TV and stream directly to the TV. The i Pad will allow opportunity for students to use music education apps that provide immediate feedback.

Not only will be providing more space for students as a result of this project but all students will also be able to view the monitor from any assigned seat.

The i Pad will be ideal to use as both teacher/student can move around the room freely without have to worry about cords and location in the classroom.
