My Project

The MacBook will provide my students with accurate, instant feedback. It will allow me to create Google Docs, Google Slides, and PDFs for my students to facilitate their learning process. It will provide an engaging and meaningful curriculum for my students. It will also provide my students with technology-enhanced learning to accommodate several types of pedagogical approaches shown to increase student engagement, knowledge, and desire to learn.

A MacBook could be a very powerful and valuable tool for the classroom.

The MacBook will be able to open several platforms so that I can monitor all my students' live during their lessons. My first graders have the potential to create amazing projects if given the right tools and opportunities. There are many websites that allow students to record their own videos on educational subjects. This device will allow them to record themselves when working collaboratively with other students as well.
