My Students

Life in the digital age and in my classroom is something I focus on. I am fortunate to work with a team teacher who shares my interest in digital lessons. In her role as the tech coach, she guides me in terms of constantly learning more about technology based and digital lessons with my students.

I am currently a 4th-grade teacher who loves teaching.

We have a tight-knit community and the parental support here is amazing. We also have great and eager students. I have been told many times that this school has tried very hard to move forward with technology. As a new teacher that truly appeals to my style of teaching. I believe technology integration is a must to move forward and I am fortunate to be in a new school who believes in that as well.

My Project

As a teacher who loves technology, I know bringing resources such as a new Windows 10 laptop and digital camera in my classroom would enhance future digital lessons for my students. I am an educator who loves integrating technology lessons, I am on a constant quest to gain up to date technology resources in my classroom. Digital resources definitely help enrich effective lessons for my students. I know the importance of focusing on different student levels. I do that daily in all subjects with the help of technology. At this time, I feel I have to focus on trying to earn my students new laptop and digital tools. I'd love to offer my students the use of a new Windows 10 laptop, mouse and camera for all of our technology based lessons. Know that we use our computer centers daily for all subjects I teach. I would use this laptop in multiple ways to seamlessly mesh our curriculum standards with technology resources. The camera would offer digital lessons which would enhance many lessons!

At this time, you have the chance to help my students with this journey to continue learning about digital tools, A Windows 10 laptop and digital camera could help my class on that quest.

Would you please consider helping us on my technology-based and digital journey?
