One area that my students tend to struggle with would be the ability to using critical thinking skills and research skills. I believe critical thinking skills are a foundation tool that my students can build upon. If we were able to receive Chromebooks and a docking station in order to share throughout the class, my students would be able to push forward in their educational journey. My students could experience science concepts through different alternatives instead of listening to myself teach each lesson. Our textbooks are becoming a little outdated and if my students could also receive up to date information about a variety of scientific concepts through the internet; it would just make their educational experience that much better and it would be enjoyable at the same time. I want to inspire my students to be anything that they want to be. I want to teach them that as long as they do their best and put forth the effort; they are able to accomplish anything. The Chromebooks would allow my students to build their confidence and explore the educational world. My students would be able to learn from each other and they would be able to become the teachers during some of my science class instead of being the student at all times.
