Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

In order to conduct research my students need technology at their fingertips. Being at an urban school, my district does not have the budget to give my students the supplies that thy need. Having iPads in the classroom will allow my students to do the necessary research it takes to complete projects. It is hard getting my kids to do fun experiments because we have no means of looking them up besides only the teacher's computer. This leaves the kids no way to do independent research needed to become self sufficient.
