The use of technology and devices that can access the internet is almost a daily occurrence in my classroom; however not all students have reliable devices. I use technology for guided practice and to record modeled strategies through applications like Canvas, Nearpod, Kahoot, and Flocabulary. This allows me to see exactly what the students are doing, as well as provide an easy way for them to show and share their work from their devices to the interactive whiteboard or direct with myself and their peers. What becomes a problem is the fact that some students only have cell phones {which do not always configure properly with such applications} or they do not have a device at all. Even though my school loans some devices, we are not yet at a one-to-one ratio, so sometimes there are just not enough devices to go around. By having LCD tablets, students will be able to fully engage during interactive lessons in class which will lead to 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 fully participate in the learning process with. 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!
