My Students

I see every student in 5th through 8th grade for Chemistry, CSI Forensics, or Astronomy. Each 6 week class needs to be action packed and every day is important. To get the full impact of each topic, this tablet will allow students to have instant Internet access to information at their fingertips.

My students are always excited to learn and each day.

I admire them for their ability to showcase their skills and potential on a daily basis. I believe that teaching them how to utilize these skills and retrieve the information they need is essential for ensuring their success. They are always challenging me to see how far I can push their potential and teach them how what they are learning can affect their lives now and in the future. As an educator I feel that it is part of my job to get my students the tools that are necessary for them to be an asset to their community. In my Astronomy, Chemistry and CSI Forensics classes, students express an inquisitive attitude but the resources are not always available for them to work efficiently to find information they need. This lack of resources can impede learning, motivation, and success. My message to them is "WORK SMARTER!"

My Project

Your donation towards this Samsung tablet will give my students a tremendous opportunity to actively participate in more hands-on learning experiences. This will give them the opportunities to prepare to be more competitive academically and creatively in today's global marketplace. Students will research, utilize and reference instant information available on the Internet to document class projects. By creating multimedia projects ranging from crime scene investigation techniques, egg drop projects and solar system scale models and building atoms they will see their work and get instant feedback necessary to make in correct. They will also test acids and bases & other hands-on applications in Astronomy, Chemistry & Forensics. In our diverse school population, English as a Second Language students who have trouble communicating with their peers or their educators because of the language barrier can utilizing an Internet resource such as Goggle Translate will bridge that language gap.

Your donation will give my students an opportunity to make this Samsung tablet a part of their everyday learning environment.

They will have opputunities to document, gather and graph information, watch videos, complete interactive lab activities & reports to gather the maximum amount of information for their Astronomy, Chemistry & Forensics. By helping my students connect the information they have learned & apply it to what they need to know, it will help students by successful in real life.
