My Project

I would like to acquire a new MacBook laptop for my classroom, with the goal of creating and implementing interactive daily movement class lessons.

In today’s world, it is challenging to be without technology.

Smart boards, iPad, and computers play a huge role in education. I work in a District 75 Special Education setting where my students face many challenges.

My students range from 5th grade to 8th grade. They are all on the Autism Spectrum. This means there are multiple learning styles among my students. Most of my students learn best through visual mediums. Everything that they are being taught needs visual modeling and demonstration. A laptop is a necessity in a differentiated learning environment.

The daily schedule for my movement class consists of Monday Zumba, Tuesday Obstacle Courses, Wednesday Yoga, Thursday Step Aerobics fitness, and Friday's freestyle dancing/Fun Friday. Each of these activities requires a visual video presentation for the students to follow. Visual instruction promotes student engagement.

Students get motivated when they follow the directions they see streaming from the laptop, along with my guidance. The students also get excited when the music is lively, and they begin to move to the beat. My goal is to reach each individual student and help them meet their physical needs and goals. In order to succeed, I need to meet my students by catering my strategies to their abilities. Please allow me to continue to help my students flourish to the best of their abilities.
