Having these chromebooks in our classroom will allow my students to take their learning to the next level. By interacting with technology, my students will be more prepared to navigate both their work in the classroom as well as their world outside of school. Access to online learning resources such as research, e-books, and teaching platforms are an integral piece of any high school English and Language Arts class. More specifically, having chromebooks in the classroom will allow me to facilitate Nearpod presentations that make the lessons more engaging. Through the interactive technology of Nearpod, my students would have the chance to explore the world through Virtual Reality lessons and 3D objects. I would also be able to better assess student understanding and differentiate instruction in real time through students' independent responses to target their specific needs. Having chromebooks will ensure that each student will have access to the texts that we read since we rarely have a class set of stories and almost never have individual books. With every student being able to interact with the text, each person will feel more confident and able to actively participate in class discussions and collaborate with their classmates. My students will also be using the chrome books to create their own projects such as videos, slide shows, and research papers. Overall, access to this technology will give my students important and transferrable skills such as research skills, problem solving skills, and presentation skills that will help them grow as learners and citizens of the world.
