I teach first grade in a suburban elementary school which serves multiple neighborhood areas and a large, local military base. My students all come from very diverse backgrounds. They also come from different socioeconomic backgrounds. No matter where they come from, they all fit right in at our school.
My students bring their unique personalities to the classroom.
Today's students are growing up in a technology-rich world. Because of this, I would like to provide my students with a technology-enriched classroom.
My students have varied levels of developmental abilities including both special needs and gifted students. Technology in the classroom will help reach all these levels of learning.
My Project
My students need a secure Chromebook charging station for our classroom. I have a classroom set of Chromebooks and they are currently being stored in a makeshift, unsecured charging box. The box is not ideal for my students and causes daily stress for putting them up correctly. Since it is not an actual charging station, the computers sometimes get stuck in the box. Chromebooks are expensive. I would love to have a safe, secure place to store them without the risk of damaging them.
Education is changing, with more emphasis on technology and new ways to learn.
My students use Chromebooks daily, typically multiple times per day with our math curriculum, Zearn, Reflex, Moby Max, and Kahoot quizzes. A Chromebook charging station would eliminate the daily stress of organizing and putting away Chromebooks. They would also be stored in a locked cabinet, and would add extra security to our 21st century learning environment. Please help us get the Chromebook charging station so that our computers can be stored safely!
