My Students
My classroom is greatly affected by this three-month absence from the classroom setting. Although we have worked earnestly to instill a distance learning initiative through our google classroom, and the local telephone service is providing free hot spots for low-income families to access the internet, some of my students are unable to obtain a device to stay connected with our distance learning and virtual lessons.
My Project
Transitioning to middle school brings challenges both socially and academically. Many students experience an easier transition and maintain it throughout the year when structure and consistency is uninterrupted.
Although the unfortunate current circumstances have a great impact on our student's learning and development, they have a greater impediment on our learners who do not possess technology in their home environment.
Such a disconnect can be a major setback to their progress and deprive them of the assistance technology gives them.
As a result, I desire to provide one of my learners with a Chromebook tablet with Google apps. This device will be used to provide him with the resource needed to stay connected with me via Google Classroom and Google Meet virtual lessons. It will allow him the opportunity for extensive game-like practice, engage in developmentally appropriate and differentiated assignments. Also, it will provide him the opportunity to access summer bridge activities to enhance his preparation for next school year.
