Technology ignites students to learn more and take learning to another level. I teach kindergarten in a school that gets very little extra funding. We have no funds for technology. Just by donating one mouse, the students will be able to use interactive charts, make graphs, and see data presented in a whole new way. We all know that technology grabs their attention and is the future of this country!
My students are in despite need of technology in the classroom setting. We use as much technology as possible but it is very limited when we don't have a wireless mouse. As soon as the lights go out, my students start clapping. They know that what they will see and do will amaze them. The only problem is that it takes so long walking back and forth from my computer. I have one computer station that is connected to a projector. My students love using the computer/projector but they lose interest because it takes so long to have students walk to the back of the classroom to move the mouse. Often times, I teach from my computer and move the mouse for them. I want them to be able to take control. I want them to have the hands on experience to move the objects, write the number or find the correct word.
Having a wireless mouse and keyboard will enable more students to participate during each lesson. Less time will be used walking back and forth to the back of the classroom. It will give the students a hands on opportunity to learn and grow in technology!
This is a great opportunity for you to help just one teacher reach the needs of hundreds of students. I will be able to use this technology for years to come and help many students!
