My Students
The students in my class and school come from a diverse socioeconomic background. Many students don't have the opportunity to go on many trips with their families. My students work really hard and enjoy school. They take advantage of all opportunities that our school gives to them.
I want my students to be able to navigate this online world as easy as possible when they cannot be in the classroom with me.
Unfortunately, I only see my students in class 2 days a week. I want them to be able to maneuver around the internet with ease as they work from home online.
My Project
My students only spend 2 days in the classroom working with me. For 3 days a week, they work online at home. Many of them have difficulty moving around the internet using the trackpad on their Chromebooks. I want them to be working as efficiently as possible when they are at home and also have the ability to easily left-click on things as they are working. Making my students work as efficiently as possible when working at home and in school is something that I find to be very important with this new online learning world they are in.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
