The Description

With these funds, I will purchase 4 iPad minis for my kindergarten inclusion classroom.  The iPads will be purchased from Amazon for $225 each.  To keep the iPads safe from drops, I will purchase an Otterbox case for each tablet.  The cases are $45 each.  We will also need child-sized headphones for each of the tablets.  I would like to order four Califone tiger headphones at $13 each.  These headphones are perfect for five-year-olds to use- they are heavy duty and very easy to clean.  Links for all requested materials are below.

  The students in my class are very interested in technology and using it to enhance learning.  However, we are limited to two iPads at this time.  We would like to have a set of at least 6 iPads so that they can be used instructionally in the following ways:

  • To teach with in a small groups 
  • To download on-level books for our students to read
  • To review phonics skills
  • To listen to stories read aloud
  • To review math skills
  • To explore science concepts
  • To Skype with classes located in other schools
  • To watch podcasts
  • To work cooperatively with partners
  • To record stories
  • To make videos
  • To make and read QR codes
  • much, much more!

All requested materials will be purchased from Amazon Prime to eliminate shipping costs.  See links below for more information and verification of all costs:

Back Up Plan

If I do not meet my goal I will purchase as many iPads as I can with the funding.  If I do not receive enough money for an iPad, I will buy more headphones to be used with the current headphone splitter we have. See above for more information about the headphones.
