This project will make a great impact on my students’ learning because it will allow them to use technology that they are unable to access from home. Although I have an accessible computer in our classroom, my school is brand new and currently does not have a media center. Our school has purchased a variety of helpful software that will assist in expanding student-learning. However, with limited computers, it is difficult to provide the necessary time for all students to use them.
Having a few iPads in the classroom will allow students to have technology available during small-group and differentiated instruction. Many of my students are English Language Learners and can highly benefit from the programs that my school offers, such as iReady, Reading Plus, iExcel, Myon, Reflex Math, etc. Aside from reading and math, this technology will also provide support in other subject areas and skills. I am planning to also teach my students research topics and people in order to prepare them for what’s to come in the upper grades.
