Help Ms. Cheatham

It is time to break free from the chains of chalkboard teaching! I teach in a self-contained 3rd grade classroom. My students come from all walks of life and learning situations. I have special education, English as a second language, and low socioeconomic students that are ready and eager to learn.

My students are the true definition of 21st century learners. They can comprehend much more in a visual and interactive manner than in a written or lecture style. Unfortunately, I have limited resources available to provide that interactive learning environment that is so beneficial to their success.

If my class had a portable digital tablet I would be able to engage the entire class and meet the needs of their learning styles during lessons. The tablet would allow students and myself to add notes and annotations to presentations from anywhere in the classroom. No longer would I be teaching over my shoulder from the chalkboard or behind the computer to advance the presentations. I could sit directly with the students and teach at the same time. Students would also be able to use the tablet for interactive learning with groups or the whole class.

Your contribution would create a classroom of actively, engaged learners who can achieve more success in the classroom.
