My Students

I teach at a Title I school in Hawai'i. As a teacher in a low-income/high poverty community, my students are faced with challenges both in and outside of the classroom. When they enter my classroom I focus on their potential and growth. Despite the challenges they experience every day, they are a hard-working, creative, loving group of students that strive to improve their current situations. I strive to provide students the opportunity to use the latest technology in the classroom that they otherwise not be able to afford.

My Project

I realize that technology is ever-evolving and that as an educator I cannot avoid it. Integrating the latest hardware and software into my lessons enables students to be responsible users of technology. The AirPods will allow students to use the most up to date earphones available.

Students are going to use the most up-to-date technology whether I include it in my curriculum or not.

If I provide responsible and productive access to use the Airpods, this will help to curb students trying to sneak them for unrelated activities. Embracing the most up-to-date technology and students' curiosity and showing them how to use it responsibly is more productive than banning it.
