My Students

We feel we are missing out on this wonderful opportunity to access computer programs that would help us with our learning. Our school is great, but we are lacking in technology. Most of my students do not have computers or internet in their homes. I teach in a low-income/high poverty school district. My students are faced with my challenges both in and out of the classroom. Having computers in the classroom will give them access to a whole new level of learning.

My students are hungry for technology.

I have 21 second graders that love working on computers. They are an active group who are ready to learn, but tired of doing work on paper. We do have four computers in our classroom, but they are very old and slow! They are a lot of computer programs that they would love to work on doing group time, but we need more computers.

My Project

We need Chromebooks! We do have some old computers in my classroom, but they are very slow and barely work for my students. It would be beneficial for my students if they have new Chromebooks to use while working on computer programs such as Achieve 3000, Accelerated Math, and Accelerated Reading just to name a few. I would also like to teach my students how to look up and find information using the Chromebooks. They are so curious about what they are learning in Social Studies and Science!

Most of my students do not have computers or internet in their homes, so the only access they have to technology is at school.

I also want my students to be computer literate because the future is in technology. It would beneficial for my students to have basic computer skills.
