My Students

"The art challenges the technology, and the technology inspires the art." - John Lasseter. It is important for students to learn early how to use technology effectively to investigate and create new things, not just for video games or social networking.

Just as our world continues to change, so do our schools.

For students to succeed they need more skills and knowledge then ever before. In an attempt to meet these changes our state, including, of course, my school, has recently adopted a new literacy program to help our students meet the Common Core Standards. I am teaching a group of enthusiastic third graders with a wide variety needs and learning styles. We are a small, isolated island community with roughly 3,000 people, consisting of various socioeconomic and ethnic backgrounds. Many of my students do not have access to computers at home. Their experiences with technology needs to come from the classroom. Although my school realizes technology is important for students’ education, we do not have funds to provide every classroom with computers.

My Project

Students will use the Chromebooks to enhance learning in all subject areas. In social studies they will be able to connect to others outside of our small isolated community. They can use Google maps to discover and explore places they have never been. They will be able to take advantage of the wonderful digital resources available to them in our newly adopted literacy program. These computers will provide more support to help build reading and writing skills. Students will be able to strengthen their research skills and practice digital literacy activities. It is important that my third grade students are well acquainted with testing on computers before being given state assessments. They need to have many opportunities with computers throughout the entire year. Chromebooks will allow them to view new content, practice previous skills as well as strengthen necessary technology skills required for state assessments.

“We need technology in every classroom and in every student and teacher’s hand, because it is the pen and paper of our time, and it is the lens through which we experience much of the world.” – David Warlick Although 5 Chromebooks is not enough for every student, it will provide small groups of students the opportunity to work cooperatively and enjoy the experiences they need to achieve their academic goals.
