I am the educator of lower income, inner city students. My school is composed of a 100% African American population with 100% free and reduced lunch. However, these students, like all children, have a thirst for learning and are capable of doing big things. Unfortunately, they come to me ill prepared and underexposed. This is due to a DIGITAL DIVIDE and disparity in the experiences and exposure that these students are afforded. The children want to be better, but they sometimes start out behind and their possibilities of catching up seem almost impossible at times; but where there is a will there is a way. My goal is to open the gates to success by providing exposure to technology to as many students as possible! I want to give them the opportunity to explore modern technology through the use of Kindle Fire Tablets and all the benefits that they can offer them. Hopefully, this will allow their dissent into society to be on a more leveled playing field!
