My school is a Title I school that sits in the heart of Washington, DC. I have a group of 80 students who are fun-loving, eager-to-learn new things, excited about school and love to read. My classroom would be considered a melting pot of cultural heritage and social needs. Many of my students have been in the U.S. for less than 2 years. They inspire me every day.
To meet their needs, we incorporate a variety of learning strategies, group work, least restrictive environments and learning options to ensure that each student's needs are met, right where they are!
My Project
The vast majority of my students come from low-income communities and lack many resources. My class deserves to have hands-on, real-world activities that further their knowledge and keeps them engaged in higher learning.
Tapping the unique powers of this XIDU 11.6" PhilBook Pro 2 in 1 Convertible Touchscreen Laptop will unleash neuro-cognitive learning capabilities in the brain that aren't often used during traditional instruction.
For example, during a science lesson, we would use the tablet to navigate websites. With the usage of this laptop/tablet, the students would be able to navigate the student-centered experiments that align with the lessons. In group work, students would have the ability to touch the screen and try different options without the hassle of taking turns and reaching for the mouse.
The National Science Foundation's (NSF) Science360 will provide easy access to engaging science, engineering images and video from around the globe. Students will also have access to a news feed featuring breaking news from NSF-funded institutions.
Furthermore, I believe your funding will help my students connect with real-world abstract concepts, global issues, and explore how science, math, reading, and social studies are closely connected.
This 2 in 1 Laptop will also help my students achieve ISTE Standards (focusing on the use of technology) such as Standard 7c. The students will be able to contribute constructively to project teams, assuming various roles and responsibilities to work effectively toward a common goal. More importantly, because my students are comprised of a diverse population, this Microsoft Surface Go and keyboard will ensure their achievement in standard 7a, where students use digital tools to connect with learners from a variety of backgrounds and cultures, engaging with them in ways that broaden mutual understanding and learning.
