Most young people are motivated by the use of technology, and our students have access to computers to enhance their learning when appropriate. This project would enhance the teachers' presentation of learning via the use of recent technology not available to us currently. Via Apple TVs, which we already have, we can mirror iPad displays to show work in real time, as well as share and articulate student work. Students can "be the teacher"; more easily sharing and explaining their own thinking. Teachers and students will also be able to easily make and share instructional videos for presentation. The technology we currently have does not allow us to load fee-based software needed to support apps like "Explain Everything," "Schoology" and "Seesaw." Having access to resources such as these would greatly enhance our ability to engage students using 21st century technology.
