Most students are very familiar with a wide variety of different forms of technology. In today’s day and age technology is used on a daily basis, in personal, as well as professional settings. I would like to be able to provide this technology for all students who enter my classroom, but particularly for my students who have a special need, or are living in an impoverished environment. What I would like to provide is technology for my students who would not otherwise be able to access the use of up to date technology. This would provide them the opportunity to get ahead of the learning curve rather than behind as our world continues to move forward in the technology revolution. I have observed students being more successful and motivated to learn when they are able to use technology in the classroom setting. I have witnessed special needs students gaining confidence, as well as academic gains in areas that they have deficits in, and were not as successful in overcoming those deficits by conventional methods of learning alone. Access to chromebooks would allow my students the opportunity to determine which device, or form of technology works best for their learning style. Then students would be able to use their prefered technology to help them become more knowledgeable in academic as well as technological advancements. The current technology that is available to students in my classroom is limited and is not as accessible to all students with special needs and those students who learn better through hands-on application, which devices that are equipped for apps found in the Google Store would provide endless resources for a variety of students needs.
