My Students

Our school technology motto has been "Keeping our eyes on technology" since 2009. Technology is an absolute must in classrooms today. I'd love to learn more about Windows 8 & project based learning. My plan is to step back and become a student again with this project if you help me with funding.

As both a parent and a teacher, I feel like I play a huge role in the lives of children.

My 3rd grade class is composed of 26 eager minds. We are honored to be residents of a small community where the parents are involved and concerned about the progress of their children. We work closely together to provide a positive learning experience both at school and home. In the past 18 years, I have seen the impact that technology has played in our classrooms. We no longer have blackboards, the majority of our lessons are taught using a Promethean board. Our school recognizes how important technology is in our school. As our school technology motto says, we "keep our eye on technology" at all times! sing project based learning activities, it could help both my students and I eventually. As the student, I would need to learn more about Windows 8 laptop and project based learning on this journey.

My Project

Our school doesn't have many Windows 8 computers and I am interested in learning about them. I met with our tech specialist to see if I gained one if she could help me and she agreed. We came up a Professional Development plan. This includes meeting 3 times, both 1 to 1 and with small groups. With the use of the requested Windows 8 laptop and mouse in this grant, my mentor will guide me with my personal learning path. Our plan of action for this journey lies with striving for 2 goals: The first goal includes learning about this new Windows 8 operating system. After learning the physical aspects of this tool, the 2nd goal would offer effective project-based learning activities for my students using this Windows 8 machine later.

Our school technology motto has been "Keeping our eyes on technology" since 2009.

Technology is crucial at our school. I'd love to learn more about Windows 8 & project based learning. My plan is to become involved as a student again. With the help of my technology leader at my school guiding me, combined with your funding, I will strive to become a better educator by becoming a student again. Will you consider helping this me by keeping my "Eyes on Technology" project?
