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 Students
My students love reading and technology, so why not combine the two for an engaging experience?
We are a high-poverty school, with a lot of heart.
Many of our students come with a tremendous amount of baggage -homelessness, drug and alcohol addiction in the home, abuse, etc. However, they are an inspiration to myself and each other. They are smart, kind and capable of doing great things.
My Project
My students love the current listening station, with the traditional CD players and books. This has helped so much with their comprehension and fluency. Due to time and space constraints, not all students are being serviced as often as needed with the current setup. I would like to add an additional reading/listening/technology component to literacy stations, and this is the perfect way to implement all three!
My students do not have a lot of exposure to new technology and experiences.
The 4 NOOK e-readers would be an awesome way for them to see new and innovative ways to learn, as well as prepare them for the type of technology they will have in their futures - academically, personally and professionally!
