Thanks to a grant from an anonymous private foundation, the Rescue Mission is able to buy technical equipment for our new Adams St. Family Campus.
I’m using this opportunity experiment with how we can use computer tablets, in this case the Ipad, to help us build a more effective Learning community for homeless kids and parents. Hopefully along the way we’ll discovery some ways we can be more efficient teachers as well. This isn’t our first experiment Read here some of the other innovations we are making.
Here’ the experiment:
We’ve purchased eight Ipads and distributed them to various teachers/councilors through the Rescue Mission with one charge: Experiment! I want them to try stuff, use it for reading projects, use it for presentations, find ways to use it to spark the imagination of your students.
At the opening of the Adams St. Campus, the Ipad’s go to the students and we evaluate how we move forward.
No reason, NO REASON AT ALL, that homeless students should get anything but the best possible teaching and the most creative of teachers. Let’s experiment!!! As they say, “if you know how it’s gonna turn out, it’s not an experiment”.
