I incorporate technology daily in the classroom. My students thoroughly enjoy using computers to learn, create and code. We are asking for two Chromebooks that will take learning to a whole new level for my students. New Chromebooks will allow the students to complete their online Math assignments on IXL Learning and Khan Academy in a timely fashion. It will also allow them to research necessary information for math projects, such as recipes to relate ratios and proportions to cooking, and research data for statistics projects. Chromebooks will help my students explore a plethora of coding programs to better prepare them for the 21st century work force.
