This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
I teach at an elementary school where the kids are from a low socioeconomic background and need to be exposed to technology as much as possible as our world is changing. I teach pre-k and I realized that these babies are more enthused and motivated when they are taught using visual whether as songs, PowerPoints or videos. I am really elated about my students getting the correct concept and being able to apply it.
My Project
This laptop would help the students when they have group work to do. For instance I am teaching rhyming words which is quite challenging for pre k to grasp. After teaching the concept I would place them in groups to play a video game on ABC.com or youtube so that they will be able to discuss and analyze in their groups the correct answers. I am not able to accommodate everyone with the devices I have. I requested a laptop because it would be much easier to accommodate 3 to 4 students at a time. Using the mouse they will be able to actively participate. I can also do this for Math and have them playing matching games in their groups. It will also be placed in the technology center for the struggling students to learn their letters during center and related arts time. The ear phone will help to eliminate the distractions.
