My students currently spend a limited amount of time on the school computer lab and tablets that rotate through our classroom only once a week as well as share with 500 students. This time does not afford them the opportunity to fully expand their research on their inquiries, much less type any reports for their presentations, thus limiting their opportunity to gain skills and knowledge. My third graders hence need five HP ChromeBooks in the classroom as a center to independently research about their topics of inquiry, such as their local native american community, the life cycles of animals, and natural hazards that albeit inevitable, they can research solutions to reduce their impact. They also need access to ChromeBooks to develop competency in using a keyboard and typing as they publish their writing from the knowledge they have gathered throughout their research. For most of my students, this classroom opportunity will be the only time they will have to access this type of technology and skill development, skills that are imperative and my students need for the 21st century. They also need a Bose speaker to share with their classmates the digital products they have created and the research they have obtained, all pertinent to their learning. Knowledgeable, inquirers, and communicators are only some of the attributes that my students strive to be. At our school, students learn through six units of inquiry and their collective questioning helps them develop their overall conceptual understanding. However, it is a challenge when my students have limited access to the tools that will make their understanding a reality. Your support is greatly appreciated in helping my students obtain the skills they need for the 21st century.
