My Students

William Butler Yates once said, "Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire." Each day my students come to school from a variety of difficult home lives to have this educational fire lit inside of them. My students attend a Title I school in South Carolina that enrolls students with a wide range of ability levels, different socioeconomic backgrounds, and many even have difficult home lives.

For the most part, the world of my students is a simple one that lacks resources and opportunities for learning.

Even something as simple as having reliable resources can make a difference in their lives. I believe in providing my students with the highest quality education I can offer them and hope that my efforts will truly benefit these students.

My school is an Arts in Basic Curriculum school, which means we focus on the integration of music, visual, and performing arts with our everyday lessons. For students who do not come from much, this integration is a way to provide them experiences and opportunities in which many of them may never get otherwise.

My Project

The use of computers in education is becoming more and more important. My goal is to have my students use our classroom computers as much as possible. We use them for all kinds of activities from educational software programs, to typing skills, to learning games online. One issue we have faced using our classroom computers and tablets is that some of the apps and programs we use have lots of sounds, but these sounds can be distracting to others in the room. These headphones would make a huge difference in allowing my students to use all these apps to their fullest potential. The games just aren't the same without their sound.

My students are the best, however many do not have the opportunities and experiences given to them in their everyday lives.

Most of them could never afford a tablet or computer to use in their home, so using one at school is a big deal to them. Help me let them use this technology to its fullest potential by donating to my grant that would provide headphones that will keep the peace in our classroom.
