My students desire to use technology in our math classroom to do research, look up trends, and create flowcharts or to do PowerPoint Presentations. I am reaching out to DonorsChoose.org because I only have the one computer on my desk, and my personal tablet in the classroom. In an ideal world, I would love for each of my students to have their own Chromebook cart in my classroom. But, unfortunately, the Chrome cart of 25 working computers must be shared daily between 138 students which equates to 5 classrooms. The shortage of technology poses a problem because my students have limited time to work on projects or to complete assignments on Freckles Math without having another teacher ask us for the Chromebooks in the middle of a lesson. I would love to play a game of Kahoot as a math review before a test or as a wrap-up to my unit plans. Or how about the students who are struggling with the math, and I want to put them on KahnAcademy for supplemental support. Wholly inequality my students live in a technologically advanced world but do not have unlimited access to technology in our math classroom. By having the 8 Chromebooks or an entire cart in my classroom, my students can apply online to various high schools, check their grades on a regular basis, use software that will add more rigor to the curriculum, and be more competitive amongst their peers when it pertains to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM). I hope that you choose my students as recipients to receive the gift of technology in the classroom. Thank you so much for your generosity.
