My Project

I was so excited to get my computer cart this year to use with my second graders, but so many of the computers are missing keys, won't connect to the internet, and won't charge. This is incredibly hard because we are practicing how to log in and working on assignments in Google Classroom. I truly believe that it is vitally important for my students to learn how to navigate a computer correctly, type their writing assignments, and learn how to use Google Classroom correctly and to be comfortable doing so.

I am requesting new Chromebooks for my students so they can learn how to use the computer correctly and become proficient using their computer in a world that is becoming more and more focused on technology, and we need new Chromebooks that aren't missing keys and Chromebooks that will actually charge.

It is my goal to get new Chromebooks for all of my students and this is the start of me reaching that goal so all of my students can keep up in a fast past world of technology.
