My students will use the tablet for various tasks and activities throughout the school day. We will begin with basic skills needed for proper use, safety, and proper handling of the device. Once they get a basic understanding, my students will learn to use the tablets to take assessments, participate in online class discussions, add to our class blog/website, take pictures at school, on field trips, and for special school functions.

One of the main uses for the tablets will be for the students to conduct research. In 5th grade we focus on researching the states of the United States, the US Presidents, and other historical, scientific, and mathematical people or topics. All of this will be part of the use of the tablet along with effective educational applications that help students improve their basic skills, access e-books, content applications, content creation applications, and communication applications.

Your donations will improve my students' ability to learn on their own with the use of mobile devices. Studies have shown that the use of mobile devices in conjunction with the normal curriculum can increase reading skills by 2 years in 6 months. Mainly due to the fact that they are interested in reading on the device about topics that interest them and without even knowing it they are practicing their reading more and more. It's a change from the traditional silent reading from a book.
