My students need computers in our classroom. These 3 Chromebooks would help us with research, and let the students have computer time when finished with their classwork.
Most of my students do not have Internet access at home, and I want them to learn how to do research, make PowerPoints, word docs, etc. Skills they will need in the future.
This is my first year teaching at my school.
It was constructed in 1968, is one of three public elementary schools in the area. Our school serves about 700 students. The majority have reduced or free lunch, and the majority have no computers or Internet at home.
Our School Pledge:
I pledge today to do my best
in reading, math, and all the rest.
I promise to obey the rules,
in my class and in our school.
I'll respect myself and others too,
I'll expect the best in all I do.
I'm here to learn all I can,
to try my best and be all I can.
My Project
With the three Chromebooks I would set up a computer center in my classroom. With this center we will be able to do group projects, have students make PowerPoints, learn to type, and have educational games and programs for the students to work on when they are early finishers, meaning they finish their work before others. Our math books come with an online program for students that with computers in our class room we could access. Our school also uses study island which is a great online program for students to use to help review concepts learned during the year. With computers in our classroom students can have access to the additional study material that goes along with our math book as well as study island. I also teach science and with the Chromebooks in our classroom we can use them to do research projects and use the apps feature for things such as learning about the solar system and the moon phases.
I believe these computers will make a significant difference in the lives and education of my students.
They will be a great gift to those students who do not have the technology at home and they will help those students have the same advantage as the other students.
