My students come from a variety of socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds, as well as ability levels. They are attentive and always willing to participate in new learning opportunities. They interact with each other as you would expect in a family.
Technology is where it's at!
I have noticed that my fifth graders are most attentive when there is a technology component to any activity we do. They are more engaged and seem to grasp the concept that I am teaching more readily.
My Project
This year my students have the awesome opportunity to be one to one with technology. Each of my students will receive his or her own chrome book to use each day for various learning activities and assignments. Technology is definitely where it's at when it comes to student learning.
My students seem to fully engage when I incorporate any form of technology into my lessons; so we are very excited about our chrome books!
With this tremendous opportunity a need has been created. We are in desperate need for a secure place to store and charge our chrome books when we are not using them.
Each day the students will come into the classroom and retrieve their fully charged chrome books from the cart. At the end of the day the students will return their chrome books to the cart to be secured and fully charged for the next day. This cart will make make daily use of our chrome books possible by keeping them secure and fully charged for us!
