Laptops For Learning Take Two

My students need a laptop and splitters in the classroom to complete group work and participate in exciting technology-based lessons.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Strickland's classroom raised $382

My Students

My classroom is run as a flipped classroom. Students preview lectures and watch instructional videos at home and then come to class ready to practice or participate in engaging projects or activities. This allows more one on one instruction and time to practice skills with a master teacher.

Our school shares laptop carts.

It is a ratio of thirty computers to thirty teachers. We are required to check them out when needed and they are often being used. I have four desktop computers in my classroom for student use, but with twenty-six to twenty-eight students in a class at a time, this allows six to eight students to share one computer at a time. I am trying to build a library of laptops so that the student ratio of computers to students is lowered. Many of my lower class students do not have access to computers at home so to participate in a flipped classroom, they need the opportunity to have access to a computer. I have to work in time for these students to preview materials so that they become engaged in activities and have access to a master teacher to help them understand material. Having an additional laptop in the room will help one more child have the opportunity to have full access to the education.

My Project

With the addition of one laptop, this will lower the amount of students who have to share a computer in the classroom. It will lend to my lower students having more opportunities to succeed in the classroom as well as my special needs students. Math instruction is hard to begin with; the more opportunities we can give students to work with groups and one on one with a teacher for math instruction, will help bridge the gap that has been a sore thumb for our country for years.

My students need a Chromebook computer in our classroom to utilize online math tools and online lessons.

Currently students must share computers and it is a 1:6-8 ratio of students. Having additional laptops in my classroom will help them to succeed in math instruction by lowering the group ratios.
