Help all of our Conestoga teachers capture images of student work and celebrate successes. New iPad technology allows staff to interact with students around the classroom, while teaching engaging lessons with more opportunities for innovation.

Teachers who already have newer iPads and Apple pencils love the versatility they bring to the classroom:

• "I am able to walk around and take pictures of students modeling with manipulatives in their table groups (or other work in their notebooks) and share selected examples with the whole class for discussion."   
• "I use notability to take pictures of student work and then go over common errors."
• "I take daily notes on the iPad in class and send them directly to Google Drive so students have immediate access.  Simple, but another resource for students."
• "Having an iPad to teach from opens so many possibilities!  I can make a more interactive slideshow with videos embedded, notes popping in as needed, and graphic organizers so kids can better understand my thinking.  I can show kids’ reading and writing strategies in real-time using apps like Notability and be able to save it to send home for kids who are sick or quarantining. I can even gather data as I conference with students about their reading and writing using a Google Form right on my iPad as I circulate around the room. Then I can take that student data and disaggregate it to make small groups and/or focus on specific skills the next day.  It is an indispensable tool in my classroom." 

We would like to update our teacher's iPads in all three grades levels, across content areas. This $2,500 goal would allow us to purchase new iPads for five of our teachers! If we surpass that goal, we can expand to more claasrooms!

$500 = iPads + pencil + applecare + cover
