Thank you MCTM for the grant money that helped pay for a new iPad in our classroom. Our students are enjoying it every day. I have included some pictures of a couple of kiddos using the iPad as an example as to how it is being used. One picture shows Madi using the iPad with TenMarks. The other two photos show Taran using the iPad to take a picture of his Math Minute Journal to put into the math section of our Three Ring program. 

Thank you again! We really appreciate it!!

MCTM,

I am so grateful and honored to be chosen for the 2015 grant. I was able to use the money to purchase a iPad for my classroom. I am just learning about all of the exciting ways to utilize this tool in my classroom. My students were able to use the tool during math class to practice math facts as well as play education games after they had finished the lesson. Getting a chance to “play” on the iPad helped to keep my students motivated and working hard. They loved any opportunity they could get their hands on it. I also was able to use the iPad as an organizational tool for myself. I had my student keep journals for math for a formative assessment. Using the app Evernote, I had my students scan their journal pages so that I could assess them. This made grading much easier for me and allowed me to assess their understanding much quicker. I also plan to use my iPad as a classroom management tool by using the app Class Dojo, which tracks students behavior. Here is a picture showing my some of my students using the iPad to play math games. In the short time that I had it in my classroom it is clear that this tool will be very useful as I teach not only mathematics but all subjects. Thank you again!

Sincerely,

Rachel Kimm
