This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Project
I am requesting a high-tech laptop to assist me with guiding my middle school students emotionally and academically. As the world rapidly advances, technology integration has become imperative, and it is crucial that I collaborate with my students at an early stage to help improve and advance their educational experiences.
As a passionate educator, I emphasize ensuring that my students are fully equipped with the necessary technological skills to enhance their knowledge in STEM, social and emotional learning, and other nigh-need areas.
I work as a behavioral support educator in a Title I alternative school. My school has many students who possess high academic abilities. Still, due to the lack of resources and opportunities, they are sometimes unable to advance at the rate of their fellow peers. The primary reason is that they have not been exposed to current technological trends and advancements.
In our classroom, I plan to utilize the laptop to introduce students to various STEM activities such as drone challenges, 3D field trips, participating in district and state-wide STEM and robotics challenges, and advanced apps that can aid their overall learning and well-being.
