In a classroom of 24 fourth graders, my students have access to two computers. Needless to say, the computers are outnumbered! My students are very curious, inquisitive and eager to learn new things. We need technology in our classroom to keep these investigative minds moving.
My fourth grade students love utilizing technology.
I want to take advantage of this passion and enthusiasm by creating an environment that fosters learning through technology. The opportunities my students will have to use the Chromebook on a daily basis will increase motivation and engagement in learning.
My Project
I am eager to improve the access to the web and technology for my students. "A Chromebook is the fastest, simplest and securest way possible!" We will use this 1 Chromebook to improve the ratio of students to computers in my classroom. This will enable more students the opportunity to do research on topics that are of interest. It will also provide my students the ability to develop and strengthen keyboarding skills.
Your help will ensure that my students have the benefit of learning by using technology in our classroom.
We have many projects throughout the year where research is needed. Some of these projects include: researching for our Famous Hoosiers, studying Greek Mythology, and researching Science Fair projects. These skills will be vital as they progress through their academic career and beyond. Thank you for making a difference in the lives of children!
