Technology Integration Initiative
Robert C. Byrd High School
Clarksburg, WV

Integrating instruction with the use of Ipads in the
classroom
Evidence of needs
The needs of the students in my classroom are great.
Every student is one to two grades behind grade level. The use of Ipads will
help the students gain a better understanding of the material being presented
in the classroom and technology integration.
There is a population of 16,649 people in the city
of Clarksburg. With only 82% of them being high school graduates. The average
income is 33, 618. The poverty level of residence is 24.7%. (http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/54/5415628.html
). Of the students in Harrison County 47% of them free lunch.
Harrison County like
many counties in our area have been forced to cut back on staffing and
extracurricular activities for students due to funding from the public.
Therefore, I feel that the possibility for funding for Ipads from the school
would be impossible.
Cost of Ipads
Walmart
Apple Ipad mini 16gb with wi-fi (black or white)
299.00 x 10 students= 2990.00 x .06%=3169.40

The Ipads would be used in the following ways

research, analyze, and evaluate the
historical, cultural, political and biographical influences on literary works

the genre being studied.
1. Students could use Ipads to look up information on readings or

3. Students could type papers online using spell checkers for more
effective writings
