Four days a week the students of the MCLit5 Interventions Class use Chromebooks to participate in an online intervention program. This program measures a student's reading abilities and then supplies nonfiction articles and activities that slowly improve a student's reading comprehension. Chromebooks provide the students with the internet connections and audio support they need to be successful in the program.
Using Chromebooks to access the online intervention program, students in this class have historically increased their reading abilities by up to three grades levels in one school year! And that reading growth is an incredible confidence booster for the kids.
Unfortunately this year, with our largest enrollment size to date, our five-year-old technology is failing, and we no longer have enough Chromebooks to support the entire class. Having a new set of Chromebooks to supplement the old set would greatly improve the intervention experiences of the students. We would no longer need to spend half of their work time trouble-shooting dying tech, and the kids would not have to share in order to accomplish their weekly program goals. Additional computers would also make it possible for us to give more extended time to students with IEP accommodations and language-learning needs.
