Meet iGuy — the free-standing foam case for iPad mini. Every bit as protective as he is a blast to use, iGuy is the perfect iPad mini accessory for kids and grownups alike. He's lightweight, easy to hold, and he can stand on his own two feet, even while holding up your iPad mini. He may look like he’s all about fun, but his soft, squishy body disguises tough EVA foam protection. iGuy will help you feel more secure as you hand your iPad mini over to your baby or small child!

Class Description:
This is a special needs classroom. The students disabilities include autism and mild and severe intellectual disabilities. We are located in a low-income school whose funds, like so many others, have been dramatically cut.
Position:
Special Education Teacher
Needs:
This classroom is in need of technologies and supports that will allow me to teach my students using methods have been proven to work. Computers, photography, etc. are fun and entertaining. In addition, they provide students access to worlds that could be closed to them in other ways. Since funding is limited, I have no classroom books with which to use in my room. I have to rely on information pulled from the internet, out-dated materials from other teachers, or from my own imagination. It is hard, but it works.
My Philosophy:
I believe that all children, no matter how severely disabled, can learn. It is my responsiblity to search for and obtain the means to teach these children. After all, the children are our future.
