Satori Elementary School: Words To Read By

“This grant has been a Godsend,” said Nina Corley of Satori Elementary School in Galveston. “The original project has lent itself to become expanded … So many more uses for the equipment purchased have been found than I ever imagined possible. After the devastation of Hurricane Ike, many of the materials once available to my classroom were no longer there, the make up of the students changed drastically and the incorporation of the iPods into the classroom has allowed me to modify the teaching so that all the students have been able to learn and excel at their own level.”

The students agreed, noting they enjoyed the audio books and videos. “I like the iPods because they let us watch movies and also help us when we are reading books so that we can go at a faster speed when reading,” said Ben Thompson.
