The one that I liked the most was ‘Looking Snazzy’ because it was for students in the special olympics and I feel like they don’t always get funded. I think their request was reasonable considering how regular sports in schools get new uniforms and good things for their competitions. This teacher did a good job of persuading to get people to help fund her project. I think she could have done more explaining how the uniforms would be useful rather than just saying for competitions. But include how it can make the students feel, etc.
‘All Hands on Tech” was one of the projects that I chose to look at. I think kindergarten classrooms don’t necessarily need iPads for the classroom, rather than just a smart board for all of the students to participate and see what other students do. This teacher didn’t go into a lot of detail about the project, just that it would be used to gain coding knowledge.
‘What if You Had Tools for Writing?’ I understand the point of this project, but I don’t understand how the teacher called the project “What if You Had Tools for Writing?” This project is just engaging them in writing as if they had animal parts rather than human parts (eyes, hands). I don’t see how buying these type of books would help engage the students, the teacher didn’t really go that munch into detail about that. The teacher did state the goal of the class, which I think is good.
