My Students

Every morning, my students come in excited to see and to interact with their classmates. They all tell each other good morning and prepare for the day ahead. My students are with me all day, except for specials.

Family and trust is the atmosphere in my classroom.

The majority of my students come from impoverished homes. In addition, I have many students who are learning English as a second language who need additional support. I also have several students with learning and behavioral disabilities. My students love coming to school every day and are excited about learning new things. I'm always searching for new activities and strategies that will enrich their learning in every area. I believe tablets will help with this! There are so many academic games and apps that could be used on a daily basis by students, whether they are working individually, in pairs, or in groups.

My Project

My objectives are: 1) to engage all students in a creative and collaborative environment by increasing access to technology 2) to deliver differentiated instruction based on the Common Core Standards through technology use in math and writing 3) to develop and enrich technology skills, as defined by the National Educational Technology Standards for Students (NETSs) 4) to infuse music and art throughout the curriculum by using mobile technology.

The innovative nature of mobile technology leaves the door open for endless student centered applications.

Here are just a few I have planned: Math- Students use the Nearpod application to transform the iPad into slates and engage in interactive lessons. A web based subscription of IXL math can easily be accessed by students at their seats for review and remediation of concepts. Students may also access NCTM’s Library of Virtual Manipulatives as well as Geometer’s Sketchpad in order to visualize abstract concepts such as rotational symmetry and 3-D nets. Writing- Penzu, an application, will be used to record students reading their own writing. Students will then play back and listen to their stories for editing purposes, and teachers will use these recordings with students to provide feedback. Students will use Fire tablets to publish their final writing works after having used Pages to work through the editing process. A copy of their published works will be added to their electronic portfolios. Students will also use the video camera to rehearse and perform skits and plays based on literature read throughout the year. Images and video clips will be added to special projects in science and social studies.

Integrating technology, the Common Core Standards, and the arts will prepare students for the challenging jobs of the future. The Tablets for All Learners Project is aimed at providing students will the tools necessary for learning!
