My students are energetic, inquisitive young women from New York City with a passion for learning, standing up for their beliefs, and of course, dancing. They like to have fun but are very serious about their learning at the same time. What makes them most special to me is that they always stand by one another and support each other in becoming the best students and young ladies that they can be.
As their teacher, I was beyond proud of their passion and courage when they protested on the steps of Brooklyn Borough Hall for stricter gun laws, making it into a feature picture for the New York Times.
It was a true testament to their willingness to learn about the issues that surround them as young students in a big city. Although they are only 12-13 years old, they showed that they will not be silenced and that they are ready to fight for their education. This is why my 7th graders are truly a special group to me.
My Project
Technology can be hard to come by at a city public school. But our students shouldn't suffer from budget restrictions just because of where they live. This is why I'm asking for a set of ten Chromebooks to be used in many different ways in my middle school English classroom.
With a set of Chromebooks to share, students will not only be able to type their essay assignments, but they will also benefit from the collaboration that is made easy through Google Classroom.
My hope is that students will be able to share their essays with one another more efficiently and make comments for revisions. They will also be able to use various online tools to help them improve their writing, such as searching for mentor texts and grammar tools. Students who struggle with reading will be able to access audiobook versions of the novels and stories that we study in class. Students with disabilities who do not have full use of their motor skills will be able to utilize talk-to-text to write essays. English Language Learners will have access to online translators when they are stuck. The possibilities are endless! With these Chromebooks, my students will get a step ahead in a world where you need to be technology-literate to succeed.
