As a parent and teacher at a small town feeder school, I would say we are blessed to live in a town with a big heart!
Our local school has more than 500 students from Pre-K through 5th grade, I have taught several grade levels and feel I have finally hit my stride with 2nd grade.
I am a self contained teacher who implements technology on a regular basis. Our school sponsors many events annually that tie academics, learning and fun together. I have hard working second graders who love technology and love to learn!
My Project
Deepak Chopra once stated, "I've always felt that technology can be used to our benefit and should be used to our benefit." As an educator, I truly believe this too. Our class needs several ActivPens. Believe me when I say, we are "crossing our little fingers" for ActivPens!
Since I began working at this current school in 2007, I have taken pride in my technology journey.
My students work with computers, interactive white boards and in independent centers. While I work with my guided reading/math centers, I have several active and engaging centers that reinforce and enhance lessons previously taught. One of my centers includes the Promethean Board, as well as the ActivSlate. The interactive pens with the Promethean Board do go out and we need more for center work and whole class activities. Having replacements would help us so much. With additional ActivPens, our students reap the benefits of using it daily. They help with the interactivity of the flip charts for each lesson. This pen helps engage the students with all subject areas. Flip charts are made, but without the pen, the interactivity is lost. We need the pens.
My students could also use two mice for our computers. Would you help bring a Promethean Participant Activpen set and mice to our classroom. Would you consider helping us?
Chopra Deepak's words, "I've always felt that technology can be used to our benefit and should be used to our benefit" do indeed ring true for all of us! At this time, know that we are "crossing our little fingers" for new ActivPens and mice for our classroom. Your consideration would be appreciated.
