Impact to My Classroom

# of Students Impacted: 150

I was able to purchase a class set of SmartPads for my 9th Grade Economics class at Lorenzo Walker Technical High School.  This enabled me to use an online digital notebook in class.  Not only does that save a lot of paper, the students have easy access to all their course notes in one place without being inundated with handouts or binders.  The SmartPad essentially makes the student laptops a touch screen enabling them to hand write their notes into our class notebook. I have even had a few students that aren't in my class come and borrow a SmartPad for assignments in other classes.  This is a fabulous resource that will be used for years to come!

Original Grant Overview

Goal

To establish a more engaging classroom using SmartPad technology in conjunction with their non touchscreen laptops. 

 

What will be done with my students

Students ability to utilize digital platforms to their fullest are hindered due to them not having touchscreen laptops. I'm a huge proponent of the 'OneNote Class Notebook' because it assists me in connecting to my students. It allows me to organize lessons and share them with my students. 

 

Benefits to my students

SmartPads allow students to write, draw and create as if their laptop had a touchscreen. 'OneNote's Class Notebook' features allow for sharing, collaboration, dynamic presentations, and enhanced organization. It provides a personal workspace for every student, a content library for handouts, and a collaboration space for lessons and creative activities. 

 

Budget Narrative

There are a few different SmartPad brands that are recommended for classroom use. They run approximately $40 each. The above allows for me to have a class set that will be used with 150 students and can continue to be used in years to come.
