My Students

As a Special Education teacher in a low-income/high poverty school, my students are faced with many challenges. The majority of my students are English Language learners who do not all learn and progress the same way. Differentiating is important in order to reach all the needs of my students.

Engaging students with the use of technology can help students foster a love for learning.

Many of my students do not have a home computer or technology at home. The classroom gives them an opportunity to experience new technology.

My Project

Technology helps expand children's opportunities to learn.

Having Fire 7 tablets will help my students in a variety of ways including reading books that may not be in their classroom library, using centers, Mathletics, completing math assignments, completing assessments, reinforcing skills and enabling higher level learning.

The technology will help all learners open up the doors to education and individualize their learning experiences.

Kindles will help us reach all students with all needs. My students are eager to use technology and these tablets will allow children to explore learning besides in a book. Students will be able to build their literacy, math, and technological skills.

Technology has so much to offer students in the classroom. Having Kindles will make learning fun while personalizing their learning needs.

These Kindle Fire tablets will allow the students more access to a variety of texts, genres, authors, and topics in order to promote a love for reading.

I hope you can help make a difference in our classroom!
