NUMBER OF STUDENTS SERVED BY GRANT
Our Power To Learn grant served a total of 242 students all in Spanish 1 through 4.

GRANT IMPACT
The biggest impact of the grant in our classes was that it gave students the opportunity to access technology in a regaular basis. Students really enjoyed using the iTouches and were more engaged and thrilled about learning using technology. It was also a great tool for students who needed to "handle" something and made the learning more pleasant.

WHAT WENT WELL
The Flip Cameras were a hit, they worked on interviews and gave formal presentation. These were a great tool for them to evaluate them selves in how to improve the speaking skills. The I-Pod Touches were a great success with our Spanish learners. They liked using apps to learn Spanish vocabulary and grammar and also gave them the opportunity to practice listening and pronunciation "away" from everybody else. The net books were used with AUDACITY, they created a weather report and students were at all times engaged in practicing not only the vocabulary in the lesson but also their skills.

PLAN FOR NEXT YEAR
Next year, we would like to use a more project-base approach with technology. We also want to use all technology in centers more. We will have an advantage next year since we already know what we are doing :) and we can start earlier in the year. Mary Serrano and Maya Whitten.
