My Students
The students in my classroom live in an urban, low-income city. They have limited resources and often, survival comes before learning. These students need motivation to further their academic careers and succeed beyond school.
My students all qualify for free or reduced-price lunch under Title I.
The students in my school are very hard working, yet have limited basic skills. To help them grow in math, they need to connect concepts to the real world. While they have limited experiences such as travel, they are desperate to see what life is like outside of their city.
My Project
The headphones will be used to allow students to work on computers and tablets without interrupting others. The Chromebook will be hooked up to a projector. Students will transfer their work using GoogleDrive and present what they did to the class.
Using technology is a motivational tool that can easily be utilized in the middle school classroom.
Students enjoy working on the computers and will be able to apply the skills they are learning in class towards an array of projects and activities. For many of my students, the only opportunity they have to work on computers or tablets is in school. They do not have these resources at home. The headphones and Chromebook will be a great way to raise my students' technological skills, helping them better prepare for their future careers.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
