Kindle Project: Computer Programming

My students need five Kindle Fires to have access to programs available on the internet.

My Students

I would like to have interactive lessons using technology. Having only a few computers in each classroom, it is very difficult to have lessons of interest that are relevant for the students. Providing Kindles is one way we can support the students to receiving access to material they need.

My students are very active and like to be challenged.

They are not so motivated to read or do extra work outside of class. However, when I proposed this project, they were really excited! Most of our students do not have computer access outside of school. These students also do not have access in the special education rooms. The Kindles could help with this.

My Project

My students will be able to work on interactive math, science and reading programs on these five requested Kindles. They will have access to look up any information needed for the class and other classes. The students also respond better to reading books digitally versus a paper book.

This project is linked to the Khan Academy, computer programming initiative for girls and under represented boys.

They have been working hard to complete the project so they can purchase Kindles for the classroom.
