Back To The Future!

My students need computers in the classroom so that they can be introduced to this type of technology.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

It's hard to believe that in this day and age children do not have access to a computer. In my kindergarten class most of the children get their first exposure to a computer.

My students live in one of the roughest neighborhoods on the Southside of Chicago.

Many of the children live at the poverty level and are exposed to gangs and violence on a regular basis. Our school is a sanctuary for the students where they can come not only to learn, but to feel safe and loved. It is my job as an educator to provide a strong foundation for learning. Kindergarten is where is all begins!

My Project

These netbooks will provide a rich teaching tool for all students no matter what their capabilities may be. Netbooks are a great tool for teaching differentiated instruction in small groups and learning centers. It is important to make learning exciting and computers are a great way to get students engaged. Often the children are so busy playing games that they don't even realize how much they are learning. Netbooks are also a fabulous testing tool for those children who are struggling.

It is my wish to have 2 working computers in my classroom so that I can provide a wealth of knowledge to my students.

My students deserve to have the opportunity to learn and keep up with the ever changing world of technology. I want to provide my students with tools that will help them be successful and productive learners in the 21st century.
