As many of you know, the Department of Education shipped iPads to students in need of access to remote learning. This was a necessary step, but it is not enough. The iPad students received gives them access to my online classroom, but also has real limitations such as no physical keyboard and the inability to look at more than one window at a time. These issues seem may seem small, but only add to the barriers to education many already face. By necessity, my student’s learning space shrunk from about 1500 square feet inside a classroom to less than 1 square foot inside of an electronic screen. Remote learning is going to continue this summer and very likely this fall for my students. As an educator, I find myself having to use both a fully powered laptop and an additional monitor to try and sanely manage this new world of remote learning. These laptops will allow my kids to do simple but powerful things like open 1 window to watch a video and another to take notes in real time. Or compare two pieces of text side by side in two different windows without me or them having to know basics of coding. I want to help my students expand our remote classroom to a size that matches their curiosity, and expand their learning by giving some of my students who do not have access to a full laptop, these Chromebooks. Once we return to the classroom full-time, these laptops will also help replace some of the laptops our school distributed at the beginning of remote learning.
