My Project
Providing a laptop for my students’ small group will make a significant difference in their learning by giving them access to digital tools, educational resources, and interactive platforms that support creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking.
This project aims to enhance small group instruction, allowing students to work together on research, presentations, and technology-based assignments that deepen their understanding and engagement.
My goal is to create a learning environment where students can thrive through hands-on, tech-supported activities that prepare them for future academic and career opportunities. What makes my students special is their resilience, curiosity, and strong sense of teamwork. Despite limited resources, they consistently show a desire to learn, help one another, and rise above challenges together. Yes, they have their own chromebook but I aim to have two stationed in our small group area, so it will be convenient for them during rotations.
