I teach in a diverse, culturally rich rural elementary school with high poverty rates and 95%+ minority students . Many students are English Language Learners and most come from homes where no one has attended college. They do not have access to technology at home and have not traveled outside of our county and state. They do not have the tools, experiences and opportunities they need to develop skills that will help them be successful in their futures. As an elementary teacher, I know that I am preparing my students for career paths that may not yet exist. I also know that each and every one of them will need to use, manipulate or create technology in order to be competitive, regardless of their field of specialization. My goal is to provide all students, especially girls with opportunities and access to technology that will give them confidence to pursue education and careers in technology.
