My Students

A typical day in my classroom would include the use of technology through whole group instruction. My students use tablets and devices they have from home to complete literacy centers with Google Docs and through using QR Codes. In Math we use the tablets for independent practice and skill practice.

I have 23 first grade students in my classroom.

We would like to be a 21st Century Classroom through the use of technology to complete research and publishing on a daily basis. My students are excited to be active participants in their learning. They get excited when it is their turn to use the technology we have available in our classroom. Our school is a bring your own device school, but not many of my students have their own devices. We would love to have access to more technology in our classroom. My school is a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) school. Our focus is to expose them to as many digital- age experiences as possible. Our students are eager to learn and experience new things. The students at my school are always so excited about learning and using technology. Most of them come from under-privileged homes, so using technology at school is always an amazing learning experience. We are creating a fun and engaging place for our students to learn.

My Project

My students would use the 2 Samsung Galaxy tablets with protective cases to complete literacy centers which would include Google Docs, Qr Codes and research and composing writing. They would also use the tablets to complete assignments from Moodle. If my students had more technology available, there is no limit to to what could be accomplished.

The donations to my project will enable my students to become a 21st Century Classroom through the use of more technology.

This project will enable more students to access and improve their use of technology on a daily basis. Many of our students do not have access to technology in their homes and this project would enable them to gain more digital- age experiences in the classroom that will help them to become a 21st century learners.
