This iPad initiative, and specifically the four June trainings, would not be possible without our generous volunteers. We will have a dozen
'tech mentors' dedicating their time and energy to provide one-on-one assistance to help our participants learn their new devices. It is the presence of these volunteers that makes it possible to differentiate the instruction, under my guidance, across different levels of learning. We have participants who are experienced with iPads while we also have those who have minimal experience with any form of technology. We also have a broad spectrum of cognitive capabilities, which makes this differentiation critical in order to create a meaningful experience for everyone. A special thanks to my colleagues in the
Park Hill School District who have supported my work with the Mission Project for years and who believe in this project enough to commute 30-40 minutes to volunteer for each training. Thank you to ALL of our volunteers! (we'll hopefully post a picture of them soon with their permission)
