Oh the Places We'll Go!

My students need an iPad Mini to help them with the daily struggles of basic skills due to the fact that they don't learn the same way everyone else does.

My Students

I start each day telling my class, "If you do your best, that's all anyone can ever ask of you. The problem is you have to be certain that this is your true best."

I teach a 12:1:1 special education program in New York.

My students face many challenges from autism, Downs Syndrome, non verbal (but completely aware), and many other learning disabilities all in one classroom. They are such eager learners and struggle daily to learn to read and write.

My Project

I would love to create an iPad center in our classroom because the children always come out of their shell whenever we play learning games on our Smartboard. Technology empowers them to be like everyone else. Finally we can keep up and help each other! So because my children are on so many different levels I teach different groups constantly. Having this center would be such an asset to my room so the children are actively learning while I work with others.

If you think you can learn, you will learn.

Technology gives my students the confidence they often lack. There are so many excellent apps for children and watching them actively learn together and love it helps build life long learners!
