Part of engaging in the literature about our foreign wars is finding ways to connect to the real men and women who served. When my students study literature set in the Vietnam and Iraq war, they work through a project that focuses on finding out what society fails to recognize about these wars by researching and studying topics only personal experience can truly give insight into. Technology aides so much in connecting people in order to discover more about personal experience. With a surface tablet, my students will be able to conduct more interviews face to face via Duo or Skype expanding their knowledge about these wars beyond their community members to others around the country. Additionally, it will allow them to video their interviews, edit their projects, and submit their work all through one device. My hope is that with the technology I have requested we will be able to expand our projects and integrate more technology. Currently, the students have very limited access to technology for interviewing for, creating and editing their projects about the Vietnam and Iraq Wars. I would really like to try incorporating the Microsoft Surface Tablet as it is an all in one piece. I realize one tablet is not enough to supply every student, but if it is a good fit then I can look at applying for more grants to fund more tablets. Donorschoose will aid so much in looking into this technology for extended use and I know the students will enjoy the opportunity to do the same as many of them do not have the personal resources to do so. Thank you for your consideration.
