When you are trying to learn in an overcrowded school, technology in the classroom can help fill academic gaps or give you access to information that is limited. Our computer labs are used primarily for testing which occurs 3 times per year. It takes a month to 6 weeks to get every class tested. Then there is WIDA testing for ELL students. The STEM teacher has one lab for 12 weeks out if the year, as well. Over 40 teachers are vying to get access to the 2 labs available the remaining days of the year. Needless to say, technology is scarce. Some classrooms have a student computer or two if you're lucky, but our portable classroom has none. Just my teacher computer which is a dinosaur in terms of current technology. Chromebooks would give my students the opportunity to research, learn key boarding, play learning games on frontrow, xtra math, and so much more!
