My students absolutely love using technology in their Computer Science classroom. Having a Chromebook will greatly enhance their learning experiences as well as working together with a partner. With this new technology, I will be able to meet their needs while keeping things interesting and fun! The Chromebook device will enable my students to read books, listen to books being read to them, and having visual prompting. This will also help with writing, and work on their math fluency by engaging in instructional games. The color printer will be very beneficial to most of my students since I have a lot of visual learners. Most of my students work best when they have handouts that are printed in color rather then black and white. This motivates them and increases their confidence while they are working. My students need support and seeing that they will be able to work independently will be amazing for their self-esteem. Students are encouraged to connect with others, and to collaborate and create with them, Technology will help me increase confidences as well as providing my students with tools and strategies to help them. Technology keeps my students motivating and engaged. It brings out personalities I've never seen before. They have the biggest smiles and it's making learning fun for them! Seeing my students having confidence in themselves is rewarding. Knowing that most of my students enjoy seeing visuals in color pushes me to want to get more and more for them.
