My Project

I love how curious, creative, and independent my students are. Every day, they walk into class ready to grow, ask questions, and challenge themselves. One of the most powerful things about our classroom is that it’s self-paced—students work through content at a speed that works for them, allowing for deeper understanding, more ownership, and greater confidence.

This iPad will play a vital role in supporting our self-paced structure.

It will allow me to create and edit short instructional videos so students can revisit lessons whenever they need to. If a student is absent, struggling, or simply wants to review, they’ll have access to the material without falling behind. It also opens the door for more interactive and engaging learning opportunities, from video-based reflections to educational apps that provide immediate feedback.

In addition, this iPad will support students with different learning styles and needs. Visual learners can access diagrams and videos, auditory learners can listen to explanations or use text-to-speech, and students who benefit from hands-on engagement can interact with digital simulations and tools. It will even allow for student-created content, giving them a platform to teach others and demonstrate mastery in creative ways.

With this iPad, my students will have more control over their learning and more tools to help them succeed. It’s not just a piece of technology—it’s a way to ensure every learner feels supported, seen, and empowered to reach their goals at their own pace.
