Technology, technology, technology! Our students are exposed daily at home and at school. Obviously, technology should be a component of every classroom today. With money not always available in school systems, however, obstacles occur. Our class wish list includes a new computer.
The town where I teach is a close-knit community, and we have great students, teachers and parents!
Our Pre K-5th grade school is one of two feeder schools in the area. Our school has approximately 550 students. I teach twenty-two Kindergarten students. With the new Common Core implemented, our teachers and students are all trying our best to move forward and do what is best for our children. We are fortunate to have hardworking students who enjoy learning.
My Project
I am a teacher who enjoys using technology in my classroom. However, for obvious reasons, additional technology money is not always in the budget of school systems. I have had computers crash on me in the past year. At this time, I have been using a personal laptop that is also on its last legs and will crash soon. The purchase of a new computer would be beneficial for my Kindergarten students. With a new computer, my students could engage in rich technology lessons. The Internet offers a variety of free online activities for our students. I know having a new computer would help them continue to participate in productive and effective technology online programs. My students need a new laptop and mouse. "Empowering Students Through Art" is definitely a goal on my agenda. With a new laptop, I could also incorporate project-based lessons which will incorporate lessons that encourage fine arts, music and creativity.
Obviously, technology should be a component of every classroom today.
However, this is easier said than done. With classroom computers crashing, our class wish list includes a new computer! Your consideration in helping us would be appreciated!
