My Project

I want to bring new and engaging technology to my classroom. With Power Pen, students will get immediate responses and feedback on the skill taught. The Power Pen activities will be one of the new stations I introduce to my students this year. As well as use to assess my students in a way that is not overwhelming or intimidating.

I teach students with mild intellectual disabilities at a high school in Newport News, Virginia.

Some of my students have sensory issues and require up-to-date materials that cater to their needs. They enjoy hands-on, active projects and challenges that encourage creative thinking. Every day, they come to school with a willingness to try new things and take risks to grow both socially, emotionally, personally, and academically. They find inspiration in using games and materials that help them learn different social and emotional skills.

Unfortunately, our school lacks a budget to meet my students' needs. Therefore, I rely on support to keep our collection up-to-date and cater to my students' interests.
