My Students
This school year cannot begin soon enough! The students in my school rely heavily on us as educators and mentors to stimulate and enrich their lives as soon as they arrive each day. Our school is currently providing 95% of our students with free breakfast and lunch, and many students walk to school daily or take the bus. We are very focused on the well-being of our students, and have made all of the accommodations and upgrades that we can. Currently, we have a small computer lab in our school that consists of a combination of only 25 computers/tablets for about 180 students.
Extra technology within my classroom would enhance everyday learning.
Our students enjoy coming to school each day, but they really enjoy using the computers in the lab when it is their turn. The reason for this? Many of my students do not have an opportunity to use a computer or tablet at home, which makes this project even more important for them and to me. I would love for my students to have the opportunities to learn with technology in our classroom so that they are not limited by their visits to our tiny computer lab.
My Project
Your donations will help provide my students with the educational experiences and opportunities that they deserve. We have one classroom computer which is used to display our curriculum during whole group instruction, but is not used by individual students. My students would benefit from a small set of computers to use during center learning for a hands-on experience.
With these Chromebooks, student possibilities will become endless!
My lessons can become interactive and include fact checking, increase fluency in reading and math, and offer the opportunity for virtual field trips and to watch videos or see examples of ideas, projects and images. Exposing my students to additional resources and opportunities to learn and grow their technical skills is important to me, especially because the time spent at school may be their only chance to do so. I want to prepare my students for the rest of their academic careers and help them become comfortable using technology to supplement their educational experience.
