Our school is a small middle college/charter school in Oklahoma. Our students are primarily Hispanic (79%), low income (70% free/reduced lunch) and eager to change their futures through education. Almost 75% of our students will be first generation high school graduates and 83% first generation college students. Our school emphasizes technology as part of the learning experience. My students can find most assignments and any notes I put on the board on the Internet. I also use the Internet for research and teaching. T he problem is that, in the switch to a charter school, we lost all our laptops, textbooks, and technology. Most of our students access the Internet with a cell phone or a computer at home but not all students have this option. Without this basic access, our students will never achieve their full potential. Even with phones, access is limited. With over 45% of our juniors and seniors in college classes we are taking chances and changing the face of education for the better. Currently our students access some of their learning, assignment and instruction on-line. A few students have laptops; some access their work using a cell phone or a computer at home. However, some students have no access to the Internet. Currently these students do some combination of sharing, using the library or using a college computer. However, this restricts the students' access to times when I may not be available to help.
