My students need 5 Chromebooks to address the digital literacy skills they lack when completing schoolwork and taking standardized tests.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. St. Georges's classroom raised $1,093
This project is fully funded
Celebrating 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
Being admitted to a vibrant and creative art school is not the easiest thing to do. While aware of the school's low acceptance rate, thousands of prospective students are competing for the spot!
Located in the middle of Wynwood's Art District in Miami, this school is THE place to be!
I am privileged to teach the most talented and diverse students in Miami!
The violas, cellos, pianos, violins, and saxophones- all are playing their instruments in syncopation. The chorus rooms are filled with beautiful voices and as I peek through the dance studio's window, I can see the ballet dancers dancing en pointe.
In addition to their extraordinary talents, my students have varying abilities and they learn in an all-inclusive, safe environment. From English as a Second Language to gifted and those with varying disabilities, they engage in cooperative learning and everyone is accepted. When they walk into my class, they are eager to know what they will learn that day.
My Project
During this school year, cellphones are banned! As a result, my students are limited to sharing only five Chromebooks each class period. This has caused a major setback for them because some of my students do not have access to the internet at home.
Access to these Chromebooks will significantly make a difference in my students' learning since they use online tools to help them keep track of their own data, improve on reading, grammar, writing and typing skills.
Digital literacy is important for 21st century learners. As their teacher, it is important that I inspire them to use today's technology as a powerful toolset to expand their learning opportunities.
