Goal

The goal of this professional development is to provide the third grade team at Vineyards Elementary with Doceri desktop for their I-Pads. This will provide the opportunity for teachers to use their teacher issued I-Pad to its full capacity for student learning and meet the needs of all learners. Doceri is the professional iPad interactive whiteboard and screencast recorder with sophisticated tools for hand-drawn graphics and built-in remote desktop control. 

What will be done with my students

Doceri desktop is a true iPad creation application for drawing, hand-written presentations, presentations, graphics, animation and audio/video screencasts. Teachers will now be able to project science diagrams, technology videos, engineering experiments, and math data (STEM) onto the board while having the freedom of walking around controlling their I-Pad desktop as well as assisting students and making sure they are on task. We have students with a variety of needs. This technology will allow us to meet the needs of all learners-including gifted, students with autism, and low-expectancy students. How so? The visual learners will appreciate the video, the auditory learners will benefit from the audio, and the kinesthetic learners will enjoy solving problems on the tablet.  

Benefits to my students

The Doceri desktop for I-Pads has created the workspace to draw lessons and annotate over files much like expensive interactive whiteboards have done – with the added ability to walk around the classroom and truly interact with the class. Students can also use the I-Pad in connection with this software to share presentations, solutions to math problems, writing samples with the class in real time, and explain their thinking. The possibilities are endless.  

Budget Narrative

The Doceri desktop is $30 per license. Vineyards Elementary currently has 7 third grade teachers, therefore it would cost $210 for all teachers on the team to enhance their teaching with this sophisticated technology and allow us the freedom to teach!
