My Students
Students are inundated with technology, and teachers must change the way we deliver curriculum. We must compete with YouTube, Xbox, iPods, and smartphones to keep students engaged. Why fight technology when we can use it?
My students are inquisitive and thoughtful.
They love to learn! It is up to me to bring in as much supplemental materials as possible to stimulate their minds and encourage their exploration of new concepts. My students attend a school where Title I funding is not available so we as teachers must supplement by finding ways to help them get the required materials.
My Project
I plan to use a laptop to incorporate technology into my classroom. The laptop can connect to my SmartBoard to display lessons that will allow my students to interact with the latest educational apps. Using the laptop, my students will be able to tour a virtual 3-D model of a California Mission, and speak to students from all over the world. Some of the children are even interested in creating apps. A laptop is essential for taking my classroom to the next frontier.
With a laptop, these students could have an opportunity to interact with the most cutting edge and engaging educational technology of our time.
After they oooh and aaah over each lesson, their minds often leap beyond the programs to insights I could never have planned. Your support would open the window for their explorations and power their innovations.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
