My Students

My school's English Department is trying to acquire more Chromebooks and a charging cart for use by all junior English classes. This is a multi classroom grant request, the success of this project will be shared between nine 11th grade teachers. Our students are so eager to learn, but they need the tools make it all happen.

Our high school currently has more than 2000 students, because of this, classroom space is at a premium.

We have lost our computer labs and are currently using Chromebook COWS ("computers on wheels"). We are sharing three COWS between the English and History departments. As you can imagine, this can be a problem when students are expected to produce essays for assessment of skills. We want to limit the amount of homework we assign, which means, we need to give our students the opportunity to get much of their writing completed during class time.

English is a crucial component of college preparation, getting students ready for the extensive research and analytical skills they will be expected to utilize throughout their college careers.

My Project

Another Chromebook Cart and 5 Chromebooks would mean so much to our English 11 students. This would change the way our students learn in so many ways. They would have the opportunity to write and edit essays in class. They would have the ability to share their essays with other students for peer editing. They would also be able to access the school library databases for research purposes.

Getting funding for this project means that our students are that much closer to having the resources they need.

It is our hope that having the technology readily available will also greatly reduce the amount of time they spend working outside of class.
