My Students

The majority of my students eat both breakfast and lunch everyday from our school cafeteria. My classroom consists of 20 bright-eyed first grade students who vary in their abilities. In my classroom, I teach inclusion students who have specific learning disabilities, ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) students, gifted and general education students. Even though my students differ in background knowledge, capabilities, and interests, they each have their own special talents and come to school ready and eager to learn.

My Project

Our ever-changing society is leaning more and more on the use of educational technology. Even in first grade, students are able to operate and effectively use iPads.

Students can improve their learning, literacy abilities, and math skills through being motivated by and engaging in the use of this technology.

I would like to see my students excited about reading a story on the iPad and have the chance to take their learning from the technology and then apply it to text based activities as they write in their journals about their favorite part of the story or perhaps what would happen next in the story. The story apps available on the iPads are interactive through visuals and sounds, and therefore intriguing to students, especially in first grade.

The possibilities in the classroom are limitless. I will purchase a number of apps that will be used one-on-one for RtI (response to intervention) with struggling students as they work on their reading level and gain confidence with simpler tasks, with students who have special needs, who may need extra visual instruction to learn, and even with gifted students, who will be given a chance to work at their advanced reading level building on higher order questioning and discovery. I also plan to use the iPads to help students practice and learn math skills. Students can access our curriculum's math website, play learning games, and even make their own teaching videos for other students using the iPads. This project's main focus is reading and math, but the iPads will be used to help with science and social studies too.

Through the use of iPads and numerous apps, students’ love for learning will increase and will be evident in their learning gains during assessments.
