My Students

I teach in the heart of north Philadelphia. The economic inequity my students are exposed to makes access to quality education a necessity. That said, they come to school each day with a mind to work hard and reach their fullest potential. Their excitement for learning makes my job the best job in the world. My kids face many challenges every day, but their circumstances don't define who they are/who they can become.

Joyful, curious, and determined are all words that describe the amazing kids I get to call my students.

I would like to create an atmosphere where my kids feel at home and have access to the resources that will help them reach their full potentials.

My Project

I am aiming to promote engagement in my classroom all year to encourage my students to be creative and apply their learning in different ways (not just filling out worksheets).

Here is how we could use iPads in our classroom to promote student engagement:

--educational apps:  Google Classroom, Kahoot, and Vooks!

-Math practice using visuals, reading books online (some students learn better this way), and using them for more writing practice.

 

We currently have 6 computers in our room and they are our only form of student-accessible technology. These computers do not allow for collaboration and do not work well with all educational technology resources that can really help students.

These iPads will be used each day in my classroom to promote learning and help students become excited about content. I would love to start using it as soon as possible and I would really appreciate your support in helping my students become lifelong learners by promoting engagement in the classroom!
