Twenty-six bright, shining faces attending kindergarten at a small charter school, housed in a converted industrial building. This kindergarten to eighth grade, Title 1, school has an ethnically and socioeconomically diverse population with the majority of students qualifying for the national free lunch program. The parents have chosen this school to provide their child with an individualized education using a Core Knowledge curriculum. I have chosen to teach at this school because I believe every child can be a great learner given the opportunity. This school was founded with the idea that students need technology in the classroom from a young age. Many of my students have never touched a computer before attending our school. Do remember the frustration of learning to control a computer mouse for the very first time? If you are 5 years old this experience can bring you to tears. The use of the Smart Board allows for immediate student interaction and success with technology.
