My Students

My students are energetic explorers who are kind, curious mini-humans. We are located in Anchorage, Alaska and my students have a natural passion for discovery and hands-on exploration. My students are not “ordinary”, so neither should be our learning! My students are special because they are military children and I am a military spouse. My students come fro all over the country and bring exciting ideas, questions, and interests in our classroom community. Because we live in such a unique state, I want to create a classroom learning environment where students feel empowered to investigate through the use of technology.

My Project

Technology plays an important role in our everyday lives, and students should have access to digital learning. Our classroom currently only has access to Chromebooks, which are not kindergarten friendly, so it is nearly impossible to allow students access to technology on a daily or even weekly basis. In order for students to be successful in our digital world, they need exposure to technology starting in their first year of education.

Incorporating technology into our daily learning will not only allow for students to grow their digital skills but also gives me opportunities as a teacher to work with students in a small, differentiated group, while other students are using iPads to discover and explore relevant learning targets.

Using iPads in small groups will allow students to use innovative apps to share their mathematical discoveries or explore animal habitats through live webcams. The possibilities are endless when students have the access and opportunities to use technology in the classroom.
