My Project

iPads will significantly enhance my students' learning by providing a wide range of technology-based educational experiences. For Deaf and Hard of Hearing students, visual aids are crucial, and these iPads will allow me to deliver engaging visual lessons and track their language development. My students will use the iPads to read, create, and share stories, practice sight words and spelling words daily, and develop their math skills. Additionally, the iPads will be equipped with literacy and math games, enabling students to practice essential skills and become successful kindergarteners and first graders.

In our two-grade classroom, the iPads will be used for centers, interactive games, reading and math activities, research, and differentiated learning.

The students will be thrilled to use the iPads, which will also allow me to pull small groups for focused instruction on individual needs while ensuring that other students continue to learn and practice their skills independently. Managing two different grade levels will become much easier, as the iPads will provide personalized and engaging activities that cater to the varied learning needs of both kindergarten and first-grade students.
