In a perfect world, we would have 1:1 devices in each classroom. It is not a perfect world! Having 9 Chromebooks in my classroom will create a 2:1 technology environment, allowing my kiddos to unlock their full potential! In the digital age, kids rely on technology! I know that having devices in the classroom will help to aide in research, work on typing goals, teach useful life and career skills, and positively reinforce my kiddos for being on task and working hard! There are countless programs that help in the learning of 5th graders, and we can not use these programs without devices! This will help our classroom get one step closer to having a paperless environment where devices are constantly available and students have resources in every corner.
