iPads for Independence!!!!
$0
$800 goal
The Description
With these funds I will be purchasing iPads for the class. These iPads will be used during literacy and math centers. iPads make it possible for students to listen, watch and record themselves. For example, on the app Raz Kids that students hear a story at their reading level. They are then able to read it aloud into the iPad and listen to it in their own voice. This give students the sense of independence and success that they ARE able to read. There are tons of educational apps that work on reading, writing, spelling and even math. When using the iPads, students are able to listen to directions with out teacher support. That gives me the time to work in small groups on targeted skills with other students.
In our school we have a total of 20 iPads available. It is very difficult to create an independent center for my students with special needs when you are not always able to use the technology needed. The students in my class love to learn and want to be independent learners but struggle with all academic areas. These iPads will assist in making them feel independent for at least part of their day.
I would like to purchase 3 iPads airs. These cost approximately $399.99 each.

Back Up Plan
If I do not meet my goal I will purchase as many iPads as I possibly can. If I don't make enough, for even one, I will save the money until I find more. These iPads are an awesome tool to have in any class room.
