My Project

My students are truly unique due to their diverse backgrounds, resilience, and innate curiosity. Many of my students come from underrepresented or economically disadvantaged communities, and despite the challenges they face outside the classroom, they show an incredible drive to succeed.

The iPad Air I am requesting will make a significant difference in my students' learning by providing them with access to a wide range of digital tools and resources that can enhance engagement, foster creativity, and support individualized learning.

I am a middle school Social Studies/Civics teacher and my class is exploring the current climate crisis and issues of racial injustices. This technology would allow me to project various resources on my Apple TV and will allow my students to use educational apps and programs that make learning more interactive and hands-on.
