My students need new Chromebooks to work collaboratively in a paperless classroom. They will work together on assignments, submit them, and receive feedback electronically
The students are eager and willing to learn despite the many challenges that they face in and out of the classroom. They live and go to school in a low-income neighborhood and lack the materials and supplies needed to be successful in school. Many of the students do not have books of their own to read at home or the basic supplies to complete their homework.
90% of my class is reading below a second grade level.
We are an Investment School in Cleveland, Ohio. Investment schools are the lowest 10-15 percent of schools in the district that call for immediate and dramatic action. This network of Investment Schools represents not only our clearest need, but also our greatest opportunity to make a difference in the lives of our students.The majority of the entire school is performing at least 1-2 grade levels below grade level. Despite their challenges, they are eager and ready to learn!
My Project
My students need Chromebooks to work collaboratively in a paperless classroom. They will work together on assignments, submit them, and receive feedback electronically. They will use the Chromebook computers as a center to work on reading and math skills. They will be able to access various programs and differentiated assignments at their level. They are struggle to use the current reading and math programs because they are so far behind.
The computers will give them an opportunity to learn and also have fun while doing it!
Our district offers several online programs that we unable to use because of the lack of technology in the classroom. Students will be able to not only use those programs but complete research projects, read books, and watch educational videos and so much more.
Nearly all 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
