As a teacher in a low-income/high poverty school district, my students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite the many challenges they face they come to school eager and ready to learn new things! I want my students to be able to use their Kindle fires to navigate new ways to learn about the world. Since most will never get to go on a trip to Europe I want my students to take a virtual field trip to Europe and learn all about the art, culture, and history of Europe. Also, MOST (over 60%) of my students come to school reading below grade level. At my school we have a computer program called I-ready that has both reading and math lessons. The data shows that if students get 45 minutes of both reading and math a week they increase their reading and math levels by 40%. The Kindle Fire has great potential to supplement learning, especially for the second grade level. There are also a plethora of apps are available to help children read, write, and learn math concepts. It’s hard to obtain and sustain the attention of this generation who’s so used to being visually stimulated by technology. Technology is usually a luxury for those who can afford it but in this technological based world it is a necessity!! By having access to Kindle Fires in my classroom my students can learn from me, technology, and from each other!
