Review of Reva Lebos Proposal
Reva has a wonderful idea for a proposal. Having used these items (VR headsets) before, I know first hand the impact they can have on the classroom and student learning. She does a great job of explaining the purpose of the VR headsets and how they will be used in the classroom. She also does a great job showing what the timeline for implementation is for her classroom VR headsets when she gets them. Her budget is transparent and logical. Overall a proposal I would approve funding.
Review of Dana Larkin Proposal
Dana does a great job of explaining what iXL is and why it would be beneficial to her students. She also explains what positive impacts the program would have on her students' learning. Having used iXL before, I understand her desire to have this program in her classroom. The gamification component of iXL tends to keep students engaged for an extended period of time and also work to bridge the gap in understanding of various math topics. Overall, given the transparent budget included in the proposal as well as the well written details of the proposal, I would definitely approve this proposal request.
