My county is moving to a digital textbook next year that has an amazing variety of videos and animations that I'm sure will not only engage my students, but make biology something they want to learn not just have to learn. Only problem with that is my lack of technology in my classroom. Currently have 2 working computers, and this isn't enough for my 160 students (biology and environmental science) we could really use these Chromebooks. Without proper technology, I am not able to fully prepare them for a 21st century life (including employment). Many of my students struggle with school mainly because they do not have the access to proper technology at home so I want to ensure that at school they have everything they need to be successful. I want to teach my students to be curious and question everything, which grows increasingly difficult as student numbers go up but proper technology goes down. Science is a quickly changing subject, so by having a digital textbook my students get up to date information and examples. This allows me to supplement instruction and teach my students critical thinking skills using those examples. These critical thinking skills are absolutely necessary to provide my students with their best opportunity to become productive and successful members of society
