Portage Park Helping Hands (PPHH) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization made up of parents, teachers, administrators, and community members dedicated to supporting Portage Park Elementary School. Together we work to engage the Portage Park and wider Chicago community to make our neighborhood school the best it can be. Our primary goal is to raise funds to provide tools for teachers and improve school programming.
This page has been set up to raise money for iPads for our students. Having this technology would help our students in so many ways. Here are just a few reasons:
- With over 65,000 education apps designed especially for the iPad and growing, just about every subject, learning style and grade level is covered.
- Improving literacy - Using even the simplest features of the iPad such as the voice recorder, are helping to improve the fluency of students.
- Creating and Sharing Demonstrations - By using the iPad and Airplay, teachers can demonstrate a procedure once, record it and then play it back on a larger screen for students to view and discuss.
- Interactive textbooks - with apps such as iBooks Author, students and teachers can create interactive textbooks featuring 3-D graphics, videos, and the ability to take notes. It has increased the level of learning through interaction and participation.
- Mobility, ease of use, social networking, grading papers and more...
