After Hurricane Irma struck, most students came back with fewer supplies and less access to the tools they need to be successful. Even with limited resources, using technology in my classroom has proved to be quite a success, as the students learn quickly, discover and enjoy every lesson, while developing scientific exploration, analytical and critical math skills. I am requesting five HP Chromebook computers, which will be used for STEAM activities. My students now need to experience, actually, utilizing technology on a personal, "one on one" basis, to enhance their language skills as well as computer skills. Currently, my classroom is very limited in terms of technology/computers. In fact, there is only a teacher's workstation and four outdated computers in my classroom. We also need headphones for the Chromebooks, so that students would not distract each other or be distracted. For my other group center, we need HotDots Jr Math Sets, so that students can practice their math skills. We are aiming to become a STEAM school, in the upcoming school year, and having our students get direct access to technology will prepare them.
