My Students

I teach a self- contained classroom at a school located in the inner city of Charlotte, NC. All of my students have some form of a disability, ranging from Autism to severe depression. Many of my students suffer from ADHD so it is very hard for them to stay engaged for long periods of time.

Our school embraces the philosophy that all students can learn new behaviors, new coping skills and master the North Carolina Common Core State Standards at the same time.

Teachers are encouraged to use a variety of teaching techniques and strategies all while meeting student’s individual needs. We have the freedom to modify the content through the process by which we deliver the content and the ability to recognize our student’s individual readiness for the content that we are exploring.

My Project

The use of whiteboards is almost a daily activity in my classroom, especially in math. Using the workshop model in math, students come to the rug with whiteboards for guided practice and to record modeled strategies. The whiteboards allow me to see exactly what they are doing, as well as provide an easy place for them to show and share their work. What becomes a problem is the fact that the markers never seem to last, erasers seem to disappear, and the whiteboards slowly become stained from frequent use. When something goes awry, students know that they must leave the rug quietly to get a new marker, new eraser, or the last choice, pencil and paper. Even though they are great about doing this, it is distracting for many of my students who have focusing issues and they miss important instruction form either myself or other students. By having tablets, students will be able to avoid all of these problems and focus on increasing their learning!

By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement.

Students will be able to simply focus on the academic material at hand, and not whether their materials are going to work or not. Plus in this technology literate world, any interaction with updated technology will increase their literacy as well as their desire to learn and use the new technology!
