Future Techies In Need Of Laptops

My Students

My students are creative, thoughtful and full of questions! They absolutely love hands-on, active, engaging projects and challenges that allow them to think outside the box to find solutions! They come to school each day ready to try new things and take brave chances in order to grow both personally and academically. Truly, they are my inspiration!

They are fearless when it comes to technology and, as children of the 21st century, they need to be prepared to use a variety of tools to engage their world.

As a math and science teacher I try to provide the opportunities that will help my students explore, understand and be the change in the world around them.

Many of the project-based items we use are household items such as straws, cups, magnets, or paper clips, but we are also in need of real science equipment/technology to help facilitate true STEAM learning labs. The requested items would not only aide my students' learning in the classroom, but will also prepare them for life long learning and critical thinking.

My Project

All of my sixty-six, suburban students are academically gifted in both math and science. They receive two hours of math and science instruction in resource rooms, where all of their peers are also gifted, or highly gifted. They are able to create multi-media projects with programs like Power Point and Sway. They thrive on utilizing current technology such as coding software, web chats, and virtual field trips. They use science inquiry daily, participate in hands-on labs and love to investigate and complete STEM design challenges.

With these 2 in 1 touchscreen laptops, my students will be able to learn new coding skills that will innovate computer software programs in the future.

Our classroom currently has 2 desktop computers that restricts our ability to learn and practice new technology skills. We have limited access, once a month, to a laptop cart that we have used to initiate and foster an understanding of coding and how it can used as a problem solving tool. By providing more laptops in our classroom on an everyday basis my students can write authentic code and investigate ways coding as a way to solve problems in the world around them.
