I am requesting 10 Chromebooks to build towards a 1:1 initiative in my classroom, which will be used for all subject areas, reading, math, social studies, and science. In math, I am planning on switching to a flipped classroom. Under a flipped classroom, a teacher records the explanation of information, and students watch the videos at home. However, not all students can watch videos in the morning to be ready for math. Students will also use online programs and other interactive, engaging websites to supplement and scaffold their math instruction. For Language Arts, my students will utilize the many features in Google for Education, in addition to numerous other resources. They will use Google Docs to create, edit, and collaborate various writing assignments. Google Draw will be used for interactive assessments. Interactive slidebooks will be developed by students for social studies and students will also use TourBuilder to visit and create their own explorations of locations. Technology is changing the way we interact with the world. Nearly every job has a component to it that requires the worker to have effective use of technology. We must model the effective use of technology for students from a young age. More importantly, we must make sure they have access to using technology frequently. As I said, my class is a diverse set of learners. Being 1:1 allows me to differentiate to a higher degree. With Chromebooks, I can meet the needs of all innovators in my room.
