My Students
My students are proud members of the great Sioux Nation. My students often do not understand the links between things such as writing and reading or writing and math. It is difficult to have students who are wanting to learn when some of the resources to help them are not available.
I have the usual eclectic bunch of students.
The problem is that many of them do not think that they will ever leave the reservation.
One of the side perks of this job is that I get to teach my students to dream. Their writing shows that they have dreams and can make connections to other subject areas. Some of them will be able to reach these dreams with a good education and a little bit of hard work.
My Project
I am asking for five Chromebooks. My students will use the requested Chromebooks and program apps to allow them to read and write in my class while creating the school newspaper and learning about journalism. This will also help them with their other classes. Students will be able to create PowerPoint presentations, write essays and stories, do research on the projects that we work on, and integrate math in various areas.
Our kids often do not have access to the kinds of technology that are prevalent in more affluent areas.
They get to my classes not knowing how to use some of the basic computer programming that they will need in the future. This project will allow them to practice using programs such as PowerPoint, typing papers, and various technology apps. They will also be able to integrate the Lakota Language into these applications.
This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
