Project Ipad with Donorschoose

There was a problem with the smart board I have in my class, so I went to the technology room to grab an overhead projector. As I was pushing the projector cart to my room, a student blurted out: "Mr. Letigio, it looks like we're going back to the 70's with that!". I was actually laughing when I heard what the student said, but I just told him,"Hey, we'll just make use of what we have at this point."

I refused to believe what I just read from most of the teachers forum, with one donor says that teachers only want an Ipad in class to be their toy, where they can play angry birds during breaks.  Teachers deserve the technology that they need in class especially to these generation of learners where students already have their own sophisticated cellphones, and tablets and computers at home. And in irony, they don't see any of these technology in their own classrooms

I thought my projector and laptop would be enough, but I was challenged when one of my students told me that in the school where she came from, her LA teacher has a set of Ipad for them to use. Then, I thought, the school was probably not in recession but behind my mind, I need to upgrade my use of technology in class.
