With the addition of 4 new Chromebooks we will be able to have an entire center group where each students has their own computer! It allows me to easily provide each student with time on the computer every day! My students will be able to practice literacy and math skills on web based programs, create projects, post on our class blog, and so much more. Thanks to the mobility of the devices, students can use them at their tables, at the rug, and we can bring them outside. I can place a computer at each table allowing them to work in small groups or we could even share them with another class. The possibilities are endless. These computers provide me with the needed resources to help my students discover and explore. In this moment, for example, the best resource we currently have to supplement our Language Arts adoption is Newsela, a kids' new website with customizable reading levels, quizzes and writing prompts. Since I have Chromebooks in my classroom, we can access this resource online, saving time and resources involved in printing the articles. The more Chromebooks we have in class, the fewer kids will need to share. It is always challenging to find quality curricula in Spanish Immersion. The current Spanish "textbook" for our Social Studies adoption has no illustrations, photos, maps or diagrams. Fortunately, we have access to the digital version as well that has most of the aforementioned resources. We live in a digital world and we, as teachers, need to provide resources, opportunities, and guidance to our students.
