My Project

I teach special-needs students at a beautiful school in Miami. My school has a high number of students who are ESOL, ELL and there are a few who are SPED and gifted. In my fourth-grade classes, there are students who have various special needs as well as multiple learning styles.

Because of the learning challenges they face, especially as it relates to technology and learning with technology, we have to find ways to accommodate each child.

Issues that relate to learning styles sometimes require that these students use touch screen computers as they would grasp concepts and retain knowledge longer and easier.

We were just recently able to assess each child's individual needs and the one underlying factor was the need for most of them to use a touchscreen device to learn and stay engaged.

Our tactile learners can learn by touching the laptop screen and the touchscreen option allows both teacher and students to run programs with the tap of their fingers. This makes it not only easy to navigate for the teacher, but for the students as well. With this touchscreen laptop, my students can complete the community service projects such as brochures for parent night, etc.

We are requesting one touchscreen laptop that is portable and easily shared among students. Your support for this project would ensure that my students are learning in a dynamic and engaging environment, using technology.
