My Students

Whether it is computer programming, environmental justice, epidemiology, or genetic engineering, my students are naturally curious and interested to know how science applies to their daily lives. The internet has opened up a whole new world for them to explore complex ideas and share their knowledge with others.

Over 60% of Washington students come from economically-disadvantaged backgrounds, which means that many do not have consistent, reliable access to online activities, assignments, and enrichment outside of school.

It is therefore essential that students have reliable access while at school, to continue to build their technology skills and support 21st century education.

My Project

Science classes at Washington are using more online resources and tools then they were just a few years ago. Students work collaboratively using Google Docs and Slides, and use Forms and Sheets to collect and process data. Chromebooks interface with digital probes, measuring temperature, dissolved oxygen, and pH during lab activities, and complex concepts such as natural selection and population changes can be modeled using computer simulations, since they are difficult to observe in real time.

Most classes at Washington have about 35 students, and having equitable access to technology is paramount in our diverse school community.

The Science Department currently has a chromebook cart with only 18 chromebooks, which is perfect when students are working in pairs/groups, but is less than ideal when they need to work individually. Help us fill it up!
