Motivating with Mobi

Approximately one-third of the students at Lake Jackson Intermediate School are at risk. Motivation is a key factor in helping these students become successful. This proposal capitalizes on student interest in technology to provide engaging and motivating activities. The use of a classroom set of eInstruction Mobis (interactive handheld tablets) and Classroom Performance system (digital clickers) will allow 8th grade at-risk Mathematics students to 1) creatively use technology; 2) become more actively engaged in learning; 3) provide immediate feedback to the teacher, and 4) result in more student success in meeting 8th grade Mathematics standards.
