My students come from all backgrounds, and are in a high-poverty, rural school district. They have all different experiences and background knowledge. In my classroom we use technology every day if it is available to us. We use computers to help with educating the students in my classroom.
We use computers for individualized instruction in reading and math.
We use computers for testing in reading and math. We also use computers for enrichment and remediation in reading and in math. We have different programs that can help supplement student growth. These programs are a way to excite the students about their education.
My Project
Chromebooks would open up many learning opportunities for my students. The students will use the Chromebooks for individualized reading and math instruction through different websites like Moby Max, Reading Eggs, and Education City, plus others. This will help each student enrich their learning at their own level and pace. They will become familiar with the use of a proper keyboard, web browser, and mouse for the state testing that is required. They will be able to access e-books for digital storytelling and research projects. Google Classroom is another feature that will be able to be used to create different projects with teacher guidance. Chromebooks will give students access to technology that is not as accessible at this time due to lack of equipment availability.
Students will be able to move at their own pace and be successful.
This will help boost confidence and allow learning to continue. My students will become fluent users of computer technology which will prepare them for computer based state testing.
