Our students should be given the opportunity to take advantage of all that technology has to offer.
We have over 2400 students that are transitioning to 21st-century classrooms.
We would love to give them every opportunity to succeed in the classroom and the real world. We are teaching 6th-8th graders in an Affiliated Charter, Title I, as well as a Math, Science, Technology Magnet located in CA. We have classes that range from the highly gifted to ESL students. They are highly motivated and desire the latest technology. The way they learn best is whenever we incorporate any form of technology. They are independent learners but love working on group projects. They learn best by collaborating and researching to find the information themselves. Now with the Common Core National Standards, we have even a greater need for more technology in the classroom to better prepare them for not only the new assessments but in the new way of learning the standards.
We are a "learning by doing" Charter. In order to have our students participate in real-life experiences, the demand for technology increases. Our students are eager to explore the world with the latest technology.
My Project
We are requesting 40 HP Chromebooks that will be added to our classroom technology labs. By having these technology tools in the classroom, the students will have access to unlimited information and resources beyond what any textbooks could provide them. In addition to researching the Internet, our students will be using many programs to enhance our curriculum. A few of the programs include: Accelerated Reader, which is an Internet-based reading program promoting reading comprehension along with encouraging the students to want to read for enjoyment, Vantage- a writing program that allows students to submit essays online and instantly get scores and feedback to encourage revising and editing. The students will have access to our districts platform, Schoology, that has countless apps that will reinforce the state standards, allow independent-based research of their interest.
Bringing technology into the classroom will open the world at our students' fingertips.
It will motivate and encourage them to produce above and beyond the assignments. The most important goals we have set for our students are that they become 21st-century learners and career ready. Anytime the students can utilize any form of technology to broaden their knowledge, is an amazing learning experience.
