My Students
Technology Rocks! My classroom only has one computer that me and the students share. I would love to have a computer for them to play educational games during Math and Reading work stations. All my students would get to rotate through workstation the computer would be a great asset in my classroom.
I work at a Title 1 (low income) school.
A lot of my student don't have access to computers. We live in a poverty community so a lot of my students don't have access to a computer at home. The only place that they get to use a computer is at school. I only have one computer in my classroom for me and them to share, so some of my students will only get to use it once a week or once every two weeks. I think that having another computer in my room would help my students that are struggling with a particular topic.
My Project
Just having a computer in the room for my students to use will help to enrich and reinforce the topics being taught. I would use this computer for center times. Each student would rotate around my room getting a turn in the computer center. I'm sure it will be one of my students favorite centers. My goal would be to have more than one so I could have several students working at a time at a computer. I have found that some students learn better with hands-on activities . Having them able to use computer would help reach some of my struggling student.
Please donate to my project.
I can't tell you how much we need an extra computer in the classroom. I will use this computer for Reading, Math, Science and Social Studies. I truly feel that having an extra computer will help all my students to excel in all their subject areas.
