The 10 Kindle's that I am requesting will be used to directly enhance the reading skills of my students. Currently, we only have two working computers in our classroom. Significant research has shown that technology enhances reading comprehension, language development, reading engagement and boosts the self esteem of struggling students particularly. My students at all reading levels and are motivated and engaged when they are able to work on technology applications at their own individual levels. The freedom of choice it provides and the instant feedback motivates the students. My struggling learners are able to experience more growth and build their self confidence, while my highest or gifted learners will have more options to enhance their own learning. Project based learning will be an important benefit of having tablets accessible to our students. Technology gives me the ability to target very specific needs of every student, in a group of very diverse and divergent learners. During center time, students will have the opportunity to work on Language Arts review applications on a more consistent basis when they do not have to alternate between only two computers. I can say that if this project is funded, the students will benefit tremendously. Their reading will be improved, but also they will enjoy learning. I am sure that it will also put smiles on their faces. To me, those three things are the goal of each and every day in our class.
