My Project

This computer will be used daily in the classroom to complete research and write essays. In addition, students will learn how to type, search the internet, create PowerPoints, and learn the ins and outs of a HP Computer. Students will also use this computer to help complete coding projects that can be used as extension activities that align with contents taught. Throughout the day, this computer will be used by the students to answer their immense and varied questions in Science and Math. This knowledge will help them all throughout their life.

My project is important because I believe that my students will have the opportunity to become computer-savvy students with an updated computer.

The students will use this computer during Science and Math Group Lessons by practicing facts to use sequentially accelerating comprehensive programs to expand their skills and knowledge as well as creating coding activities that help extend their thinking.

With this computer, students will be able to feed their hunger for answers to their many questions, and they can strengthen their reading, writing, science, and math skills.
