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 in a Title I school where every child is on free and reduced lunch. It is difficult to get all of my students to bring basic supplies such as paper and pencil. My students thrive with technology and school is the place where they are able to utilize technology and be creative. Technology allows them to find the modality of learning that works best for them. By providing mice, students will be able to utilize more functions of their Chromebooks.
My Project
By providing mice to my students, they will be able to utilize more functions of their technology. Our school is fortunate that each student has a Chromebook to use. However, teachers must provide headphones and mice to students in order for them to be able to use the Chromebook to the fullest. The cursor pad of the mouse tends to be cumbersome for sixth graders and mice will be easier to use. Students will learn to take care of the headphones and mice and they will be responsible for the upkeep of these pieces of technology. In addition, students will be able to access functions of the Chromebooks that are used in state testing.
