Success for Students with Different Language Backgrounds with Technology

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. O.'s classroom raised $887

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students are always eager to come to school and learn. They come to school with a smile on their face and want to be at school. Some have come from different countries and this is their first school in the United States. They have come from Brazil, El Salvador, China, Thailand, Mexico and many other countries. My hope is to provide my students with technology that is supportive, creative and meaningful to the learning experiences in our school to help them be successful.

My Project

Technology is the future for our students.

The HP Stream Laptops will be beneficial for my students since some students do not have internet access or computers at home.

This will give the students opportunities to work in class, during lunch or after school. Students will be able to work on essays or do research for assignments. They will have programs to practice their reading and listening skills, have access to websites for improving their academic vocabulary and Google Translate. They can also improve on their typing skills.

Their lives will be enriched by using technology and their success will transfer to their everyday lives. They will become more confident in themselves and their futures will shine bright!
