Assignment #5: Grant
Proposal
Title:
Integrating science with New advanced
classroom technology
Goals for the project:
The goal of my project
is to help integrate more hands on work that may be shared with the whole
class. Next year I will be receiving an Epson Bright-LinkPro 1410wi. Currently,
I am using a standard projector, screen, and laptop in my class to teach
PowerPoint lessons. The Epson Bright-LinkPro is an interactive projector that
can project on any flat surface. These interactive projectors can easily be
integrated with any Apple product and can also work offline. I would like to
use the iPad mini to leave the front of the classroom and be able to allow my
students to interact with each other and the power point itself. Also, freeing
me from the front of the classroom and the laptop would allow me the freedom
for more individualized instruction during class lessons and activities.
Budget:
Ipad mini (16 GB)
$329.00
Procedure:
The new ipad mini will
be integrated into everyday lessons and structure. Allowing me to access videos
and the internet from anywhere in the room. This will save me time from when I
am working with kids at the back of the room. I will have the ability to switch
the connection of the ipad mini and the interactive white board (the
interactive project can work as an electronic white board without a computer)
and simply pull my lesson or instruction on the ipad mini when helping an
individual students. This new addition to the classroom will allow me seamless
connection to the internet, my notes, and videos that enhance my classroom
lessons and instruction.
Benefits for the students:
·
Students will be
able to show their work to the whole class.
·
Students can
have an open discussion about the best way to solve a problem or review a
question
·
Students and
Teacher will have easy access to the internet and projector from anywhere
around the room
·
Labs can be
supplemented via the projector and ipad mini with extra videos or techniques
·
During labs
students will be able to draw diagrams and answer questions with the ipad to
help the class and keep everyone safe
·
Students will be
given the role as teacher using the combination of projector and ipad
