My Project

Technology is a major component in education today. As technology enhances I want to ensure that my students have proper and direct access to achieve student success.

Receiving this iPad will allow my non verbal students the ability to communicate and grow as learners while creating an all inclusive learning environment.

I would love the chance to enhance their learning and this is the first step.

1 on 1 learning between a student and teacher is pivotal in education today, and this will allow student success. Thank you! Much love. Students will also need headphones to go along with the i pad! Students will use headphones for reading passages, listening to music and much more.
