My 5th graders continue to use multimedia to work on activities and projects that integrate technology into my classroom daily. As a teacher who recognizes the power technology, I know bringing resources such as a Windows 10 computer in my classroom would enhance future lessons for my students.
I am currently a 5th grade team teacher at a pre-k through 5th grade school.
I have 42 students combined in two sections. Our school has almost 550 students at this time. My school is always looking at ways to gain new technology and focuses on the importance of technology integration in classrooms. Our teachers and students are active in utilizing technology in our classrooms daily.
My Project
Like all other teachers, I know the importance of recognizing and addressing individual student needs. With the use of a new all-in-one computer in our classroom, I would use it in math, science, ELA, and social studies centers. We could use it for skill practice or to help with technology projects. I know that utilizing a new and faster computer would help my 5th graders so much. With the mandatory upgrades in 2014 for Windows 7, it slowed down my XP student computers down tremendously. I would like to work on updating my computer center this year. In short, a new computer would be a huge asset for centers, in groups or whole class lessons. My students use the computers daily with all subjects. We use them in centers and individually for meshing reading, math, and other subjects. I would like an all-in-one Windows 10 with 8 GB memory, 1 TB Storage; with a DVD Drive and Touchscreen. With so many programs and software within our parish and online, this would be such an asset for us.
With a focus on attaining productive technology tools in my classroom, my students and I would love to have a new student Windows 10 computer for center work.
We could also connect it to our interactive whiteboard for whole class instruction, too. Your consideration in helping us would deeply be appreciated.
