My Students

I like to think of our school library as "The Little Library That Could". Housed in a converted classroom fitted with a circulation desk, air conditioner, and water fountain, the library provides a cozy, joyful retreat for students as they discover and explore the wide world of children's literature

My school serves Pre-K through 5th grade students from East Flatbush, Brooklyn.

Many of our families are first generation residents from the West Indies struggling to make ends meet. Eighty-seven percent of our students are eligible for free lunch. The economic downturn has hit our school community particularly hard. Poverty and unemployment is unacceptably high, while our budget continues to tighten. Further, we must compete with new local charter schools possessing greater resources and more attractive, state-of-the-art facilities. Our dedicated teachers work tirelessly to engage students as these new schools aggressively market themselves to our best and brightest. Too many of our students come from homes with few books to call their own, yet I am heartened by the tremendous enthusiasm and joy the children express as we explore a wide selection of fiction and nonfiction books together. Students beam as they leave my library with borrowed books to read and share with their families

My Project

iPads provide a powerful platform for a broad range of student activities from research and writing to creating audio and video content. Using social media, such as blogs, students can connect and collaborate with a larger community of learners. They can access e-books, online books, and educational apps, and they can search our library catalog and checkout books. Coupled with a projector, the iPad can be used for whole class activities as well. Most student projects are full of vibrant color. Their reports often contain photos, diagrams, charts, and graphics of all kinds. An image from the internet or original artwork often accompanies their book responses. My students need a color printer to share their amazing work on walls, bulletin boards, and in their portfolios. As the library teacher, I can use the color printer to create attractive brochures and other print communications for students and families. Also, my library displays and signs can be colorful and eye-catching.

As I outlined above, an iPad will open a world of learning possibilities to my students.

Of course, having only one iPad in a library is not ideal, but it is a start. Presentations of student work should not be limited to black and white! They need a color printer to bring their exciting projects to life. My students greatly enjoy coming to the library, but they deserve more access to current technologies, as well as to an attractive, colorful environment in which to work.
