Psychology's Practical Applications and Research in the Classroom!
My students need a reliable computer to do research and projects throughout the school year. With this desktop I hope to not only build students' skills in terms of technology proficiency, but also good research habits.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Conner's classroom raised $486
This project is fully funded
My Students
I teach at a suburban high school catering to all walks of student life. Our students are highly motivated by what Psychology has to teach them about themselves and others. Like in so many schools around the country, 'Social Emotional Learning' is common curriculum, my school is no different. We teach our students skills to interact, manage emotions, and positive relationships. By understanding yourself, you may better understand others.
Often students with challenging backgrounds seek solace in my class as a way to manage the chaos of growing up.
Having resources for research and community outreach allows for students to see a practical application of the information they learn in class. Psychology is a fast growing elective in our community and our students deserve the best.
My Project
This desktop will serve three main purposes in my classroom; student research, weekly progress checks, practical applications and community examples of psychological phenomenon.
Not all students have technology available to them outside of school and with so much other pressure on school resources, having a desktop in the classroom for students to use would help me to guide there education.
Weekly progress checks online would help increase technology proficiency for students.
The students will be doing one large project focusing on community outreach for psychological disorders and treatments. The students will be conducting one social psych experiment, focusing on various real world examples and phenomenon.
My goal for this computer is to teach students research skills and how to conduct proper research in the field of psychology.
