This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
Our second grade is comprised of about 68 amazing students, many of whom come from bilingual households or households of low income. We are in a Title I school where all students receive free lunch. We are not afforded all the resources we want, but we are striving to achieve the best with what we have. These students are at a point in their life where technology and other privileges are not readily available to them, but with some help we can expand their horizons
My Project
My students need technology in the classroom. We have three desktops, but only one of them works, which puts my students at a disadvantage to the rest of the school.
We need six Chromebook laptops in the classroom to help them develop their technology skills and grow in their online learning paths.
My students work in centers three days a week and during their centers, when we are able to access computers, the students are continually using educational websites such as abc mouse and their online school program to help them grow in their learning paths. It would be a wonderful opportunity for my students to have access to technology that they don't have readily available on an everyday basis. Most of these students are from low income houses and school is the only place they are truly integrated into technology on an educational level.
