Chromebooks: Adding to Our Classroom Technology

My students need five Chromebooks to develop and produce various writing and visual projects.

My Students

On a typical school day, students spend fifty-five minutes in my classroom studying literature, grammar and composition, and building vocabulary and speaking skills. Students are engaged in whole-group, small-group, and individual activities that stimulate their love for language and communication.

I teach two different kinds of students: those on a path to post-secondary learning through college or technical school, and those on a path to a career following high school.

Our school population is small in size and is in a rural community. Students' exposure to varieties of cultures and customs is limited to their small circles of family and friends in the area. They possess the desire to learn of and associate with others, but often lack the means to travel past the closest city fifteen minutes away. In order for my students to broaden their knowledge and open their minds to the world that is out there waiting for them, it would be necessary and easier to bring that world to them. Slight variations in culture such as dress and dialect would not seem so alien to them if they were to experience the lives of "outsiders" more often. The small world in which they exist could easily grow larger and less cut-off through tools such as computers with Internet access.

My Project

Students would be using these Chromebooks for many activities: individual practice and remediation of skills, reading literary works, creating their own compositions, cooperating in groups to compose and share projects, assess reading comprehension and communicate with each other in a controlled classroom network. They would make use of many Google applications such as Drive, Docs, Sheets, and Slides to gain career readiness for future jobs. Students will be able to write posts and communicate with peers and their teacher through Google Classroom. Students will be able to conduct research and write about their findings. They will also be able to plan and create multimedia projects in both group and individual settings. Most importantly, though, my students will gain and practice the advanced skills required to be successful in today's technology-driven career and social worlds.

Donating to this project will benefit my students in several ways and change their lives for the better.

First and simply, I have some students who are not lucky enough to have computers or Internet access at home. Providing this opportunity to them at school will open doors for them to a bigger world they would not have on their own. Also, donating will present my students with the tools needed to develop the technical skills that are required to succeed and be productive in today's society.
