I currently have 40 students in my special education (SPED) classes. My students are SPED students and have a love for technology, reading, math and science. They are very excited about learning and I want to make the class interactive. Due to time, we are limited. My students don't have access to much technology or additional resources at home. Many of our students are foster care students and they don't have any technology. The students in my classroom are a diverse group of children who come from intricate family backgrounds. I teach at a low-income school and I in a classroom full of eager learners who are enthusiastic about coming to school every day!
My Project
Chromebooks are needed to accommodate the students in my classroom. We recently received several students from Puerto Rico. They aren't fluent in English and need some additional assistance in learning English. Most of the time my students have to wait for their chance to work on the computers in the classroom, which causes frustration and agitation; often this creates a blockage to the learning process.
Waiting to get a turn on the computer can cause anxiety and frustration which makes learning somewhat difficult!
Many of my students are anxious to get their turn on the computers to access the various apps which are available to them. The necessity to finish assigned lessons in the Ready reading Program can be accomplished by all with the additional technical apparatus.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
