My Students

I teach in a 4th grade ICT classroom in a Title one school in Maspeth, Queens. There are currently 29 students in our classroom coming from many different backgrounds. In our class we embrace different learning styles and personalities. In order to help our students succeed, we want to differentiate each lesson to best reach each student’s learning style. Our students don’t have the opportunity to use iPads at home and our classroom is currently without technology for the students. The students need an opportunity to use iPads to keep up with the other public schools in the area where resources are more readily available. The iPads help students grow tremendously with individualized reading and math programs.

As children of the 21st century, my students need to be prepared to use technology in their lives.

They are more engaged in the lessons if technology is available and the lessons would “come alive” a bit more for them. Please help us reach our goal of bringing technology into the classroom.

My Project

Reading programs, such as Reading A-Z or MyLexia, help students reach the next reading level by individualizing lessons and providing teachers with ongoing data to target learning goals. Some of the students in our classroom might need a break from the high energy levels in 4th grade, so using a tablet to self regulate emotions could help them relax and self sooth. With a tablet, students would be able to e-mail authors, research new animals, or type writing pieces on google docs to share with their classmates.

On the tablets, students can play interactive games to help them learn their multiplication tables, create their own coding programs, learn animation- the options are endless!
