Using funding from different areas, I have pieced together about 10 laptops and 10 iPads for my students to use. In the gifted classroom, technology is an essential part of keeping students engaged in the learning process. I currently have no textbooks for my classes to access text materials, so laptops and iPads are our only option for accessing information. While having this technology available is wonderful, I have no way to store and charge this many laptops and iPads in my room. I use technology to allow my students to blog about texts or projects we are working on or to record video responses to articles and texts we are reading in class. However, having this much technology also requires access to somewhere to store and charge it. I currently do not have nearly enough power outlets to keep my technology charged and ready for students to use each day. This grant will fund the purchase of the AVerCharge Charging Cart, which will allow students to easily access my technology, and I will be able to ensure that our laptops and iPads are charged up and ready for students on a daily basis. Having fully-charged technology will allow students to access information online that they would not have an opportunity to use otherwise. This cart will guarantee that my students can use the technology available to them each and every day in the AIG classroom.
