My Project

As a middle school teacher, I have to find innovative and creative ways to engage my scholars in literacy! I have many students who lack foundational literacy skills and need small group instruction to improve basic reading skills. I would love for my scholars to have the opportunity to use the iPad Pro and Apple pencil to learn these skills using an interactive and engaging piece of technology. Technology usage is a key skill needed for all 21st-century learners and this iPad pro would provide my scholars the opportunity to merge skills essential to their future: Literacy and technology!
