My Students
We start off with an overview of the expectations of the days lesson. There is a focus wall and we discuss the goals they must meet and how it will be assessed on state assessments at the end of the year.
My students are considered economically disadvantaged.
100% of the school population receives free lunch. Many do not have computers at home. They do not have anyone at home to help them with assignments. There are few parents who are actively involved in school activities. Students have little to no exposure to technology once the leave the school.
My Project
One of the pros of the common core is that it encourages use of technology. However, we lack the technology to afford our students the opportunity to learn to use it in the proper manners. With the Chromebook I will be able to connect it to the SmartBoard that is currently not being used in the classroom to demonstrate different concepts. For example, instead of teaching transformations by looking at it in books, students can go to the board and experience rotating, dilating, and reflecting figures themselves.
Mississippi is testing students mastery of concepts by also testing their familiarity with the technology that is related to the concepts.
Although we cannot purchase computers for each child, we can take advantage of the SmartBoard. Students will get a chance to drag and drop, construct, and measure etc as expected on the test as a group. This allows the students to be more comfortable by at least seeing the types of items they will be expected to be familiar with; instead of going in blind.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
