The Description

I have been teaching 1st grade for 10 years.  This is the first year I will be teaching STEM.  So, instead of having a class of 25 students, I will now have multiple classes of 750 students.  Although I have a new classroom and new curriculum.. I have found that most STEM technology requires an iPad or multiple iPads in order to function. 

With these funds, I will purchase 2 iPads for my STEM classroom.  I will use these iPads to download applications to use in order for my K-3 students to work on coding, design, and camera recording/editing.

I would like to purchase these 2 iPads from Best Buy:

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/apple-ipad-latest-model-with-wi-fi-128gb-space-gray/5201502.p?skuId=5201502

Each Apple (Latest Model) with Wi-Fi 128GB iPad is priced at $429.99.

 

Back Up Plan

If I do not reach my goal, I will purchase 1 iPad.  If I do not have enough funds for 1 iPad, I will use the money to purchase Dash and Dot educational robots. 

Dash and Dot will be used in my STEM classroom for students to work on coding as well as math skills.  

I would like to purchase Dash and Dot from Wonder Workshop:

Wonder Pack + Curriculum Bundle is priced at $375.

About the Creator

This is my first year teaching STEM! I have been teaching first grade for about ten years now - both in a regular and special education setting. I am excited to expand my knowledge in science, technology, engineering, and math. I hope to add to my library of innovative technology for my K-3 classrooms this upcoming year. Please help! :)
