Investigating- 21st Century Style

My students need to access technology in different ways. Some of my students have never had access to computers or mobile devices having a chrome book in the classroom is the best of both worlds-

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

When thinking about my students I can only come up with 1 word that describes them: enthusiastic. They want to learn about EVERYTHING. They are not only open to new learning but they want to show that they know! Everything is a wonder to them and they are EXCITED to learn how to do it all!

I have a total of 21 eager Kindergartner's who come every day ready to learn.

My class consists of various economic and ethnic backgrounds. I have special educations students, ELL students, and learners of a variety of academic levels. They come every day with a smile and ready to show the world what they are capable of achieving!

My Project

Many of my students have never been around computers and do not have access to technology in order to prepare them to be 21st century learners. By introducing Chromebooks into the classroom my students will have another means to incorporate literacy and technology as well as allowing the students to become familiar with different applications that Chromebooks have to offer.

I also plan to use the Chromebooks and books as a form of research projects- investigations.

Not only will they use their non-fiction books to read and learn about animals they have not seen before but they can use the Chromebooks to investigate further. The new knowledge acquired will also translate into their writing. As a result, we will have students that show improvements in 3 subject areas: reading, technology, and writing! As a teacher I want my students to have all the possibilities available and I believe that unifying Technology and Literacy is the way to do this!
