Aloha High School, Brett Bodine hasn't added a story.
Last year I returned to teaching math at Beaverton High School following an eight-year absence working as a web developer. BHS had some available technology that allowed me to use my knowledge and skills to reach more students beyond the confines of the classroom.
After getting set up with an Apple TV, iPad Pro and Apple Pencil I was able to change the way I taught my class. I was no longer confined to the front of the class while writing notes using a document camera. I was able to write notes on the iPad as I walked around the room, I could save notes directly to Google Drive and then upload them to my website where students could have 24 hour access to what we covered in class.
I was also able to let students do problems "on the board" from their seats more efficiently. Most importantly, I was able to take advantage of the Explain Everything app which allowed me to create step by step tutorial videos of test reviews that students could watch on my classroom YouTube account.
These products create an interactive classroom where all students can share with their peers and contribute to the classroom experience.
I was transferred to Aloha High School this year and we do not have the same available technology. I only scratched the surface of what I can do in my classroom. I would love to give the same options to my students at AHS and explore things like flipping the classroom where students can watch lectures at home or even create their own presentations in class.
I have over 120 students ranging from 9th to 12th grade and all levels of math skills that can benefit from the lessons and tutorials I will be able to create with this technology.
That is where you can help. Your donations can help purchase the products I need to create an environment where students are using technology to expand their abilities.
$700 will go towards the purchase of a 10.5" iPad Pro and protective case.
$149 will go towards the purchase of an Apple TV 4
$99 will go towards the purchase of an Apple Pencil.
