My Students

"We need technology in every classroom and in every student and teacher's hand, because it is the pen and paper of our time, and it is the lens through which we experience much of our world." -David Warlick.

My class is compiled of 23 hardworking students.

We spend our days meeting the Common Core Standards in fun and engaging ways. It is important to me to always find new ways to reach my students, while continuing to stay within the standards. Two Chromebooks will be a great way to reach diversity in learning styles on a day to day basis.

My Project

My students will use the Chromebooks, alongside other technology, to enhance small group instruction. Students will rotate using this technology during centers in order to enhance their learning. The Chromebooks will be used to reinforce math skills and fluency. It will also be used during Writer's Workshop as an alternative to handwriting. Using Chromebooks in the classroom will help to engage all students in different ways.

I believe that by integrating Chromebooks into the classroom it will enhance my students' learning.

Technology is a valuable tool for teaching and learning. Technology is becoming a way of life and by using it properly in the classroom it can, and will, give students choices and opportunities to explore information. I am confident that the skills they achieve will prepare them for the future.
