My Project

The technology center will allow students to complete supplemental work during one-on-one time. Students will be able to log onto learning stations using the MacBooks and complete class work instead of using paper which often goes to waste or is lost. The goal is to transition all students to in-class, online assignments. I currently have a Microsoft Service Pro, I will be able to use the keyboard so that students can type as they would on a regular computer during small groups, and then the Surface Slim Pen is to be used to draw out any graphs and annotate any papers. My students are special because they always work hard and always try their best, my students just completed their middle-of-the-year testing and the goal is to improve 5 points. They exceeded that goal with some improvement by 20 points and above!
