I view my classroom as a learning community with all of my students being equal and valuable members. I see my students inspiring and motivating each other to make this community more collaborative, challenging, and invigorating. Furthermore, they push each other forward through genuine support and compassion for their peers. These attributes and actions are all so exciting for me to witness as their teacher, and I am continually impressed by the motivation, curiosity, and dedication they demonstrate on a daily basis.
My Project
I’ve noticed that my students are technology-orientated, and I know we live in a world where the use of technology is continuously growing. These two factors present an excellent opportunity for me to create invigorating lessons utilizing technology to help students grow in their understanding of both content and technology to be better prepared for their futures.
In order to make this opportunity a reality, I will need to incorporate technology more consistently into lessons, which can be difficult to do with the shared technology on campus.
I know it would make a big difference to have four Chromebooks in our classroom. With these available to my students, I see potential for an increased enthusiasm towards History and English. I also see their understanding of technology expanding so that they can recognize its ability to offer enriching opportunities for creativity, sharing ideas, and widening their academic knowledge.
