Mrs. Joni Kirby from Concord CA is requesting computers & tablets through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Crazy for Chromebooks!

My students need two Chromebooks in order to enhance their learning in math, writing and reading and access American Sign Language websites too.

My Students

My Deaf and Hard of Hearing students are curious and inquisitive. They benefit from being able to access visual information from websites using American Sign Language. They are able to add to their own sign language vocabulary by looking up signs from specific websites and watching deaf adults and children signing stories.

My Deaf and Hard of Hearing students need to access the regular education curriculum in order to become successful readers.

The children are excited to be able to be able to use technology, educational games and websites to support their learning. Being able to access technology within our own classroom will enable my students to become independent learners who can mainstream within regular education classes.

My Project

My students will benefit from using Chromebooks in my Deaf and Hard of Hearing classroom. The two requested HP Chromebooks will enable them to access sign language websites, ASL storytelling and I-Ready math & reading lessons. My students learn visually and the Chromebooks will allow them to access visual information. Some of my students' use Assistive Listening Devices (ALD) that can connect their hearing aids/ cochlear implants directly to the Chromebooks. Therefore, allowing my students to access auditory information from websites.

Technology is vitally important in today's classrooms and my students will be able to learn to type, practice math games and watch stories being read to them using sign language.

It is my goal to eventually enable each of my students to have their own Chromebook. Thanks for supporting us towards this goal.
