My Project

Our classroom is in urgent need of a laptop and an iPad to support our neurodiverse students. This project will help replace outdated or broken devices. Laptops and iPads are not just tools; they are gateways to communication, collaboration, and enhanced learning. With the help of educational apps, games, and resources, our students can engage more fully in their education and develop essential skills.

Using an iPad or laptop empowers students to work independently and builds confidence while they learn through play.

Unfortunately, due to their cost, I am unable to provide these much-needed resources. Our class uses a variety of interactive tools such as Amira, Starfall, Cough Drop, Wordwall, Boom Cards, Kahoot! and Epic Books to engage students in activities that support their individualized learning needs and communication.

Having these essential devices will help create an inclusive learning environment where every student can thrive.
