My Students

Students today see technology as a tool to use for entertainment purposes and not for education purposes. I hope by the end of the year my students will see that technology can make learning fun. Unfortunately, my students are not part of the technology part of our campus.

My students are typical first graders with a lot of energy and a thirst for expressing themselves vocally.

The majority of my students are African American and reside in a lower middle class residential area. My school is on the smaller side which makes it feel like more of tight-knit community. What I love about my students is their thirst for knowledge and their honesty which can be very entertaining.

My Project

Unfortunately, the personal computer I was using last year broke. My students need a laptop because I have an Elmo and I would like to project things from a laptop. Like last year, I hope to use the laptop I'm asking for in my math lessons. I like to make math fun and interactive. There are many interactive math lessons and games my children could benefit from. We could use the laptop not just for math but also for language arts. I like to use videos and other multimedia resources. I still show school house rock videos to teach grammar, science, and social studies.

This donation will make the world of difference to my students because having multimedia in the classroom not only makes lessons engaging, it also exposes students to the importance of incorporating technology into their schoolwork.
