My Students
I teach at a large Illinois inner city elementary school. I teach 7th and 8th grades science. My students are from low-income families and are all eligible for free lunch. As a teacher and lover of science, I want to instill my love for healthy living, discovery, and inquiry in my students.
Because of drastic budget cuts, I am unable to have a technology center in my classroom.
I would like for my students to have access to the latest technology in order to develop their research skills. I generally use the overhead projector (a dinosaur in the technology industry) and a LCD projector. While I am able to reach all of my students at once with these two resources, my students are not able to explore, research, and develop their own technology skills.
My Project
My students will be able to conduct research on such topics as global warming and current events. My students will also be able to prepare research papers. While this Chromebook does have limited storage space, it offers access to the Google Cloud, which has unlimited storage capacity. My students will be able to work in teams using this Chromebook, and complete assignments such as ecological succession and teenage obesity. They will be able to watch videos on Mitosis and Meiosis to assist in writing their reports.
With this Chromebook and carrying case, I will also be able to bring "Google in Education" to my students.
This allows my students to communicate directly with me while completing assignments.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
