My Students

The school is a performing arts school in the heart of our city! I teach Physical Setting/Chemistry course at an urban, inner-city performing arts high school. Every day, I strive to teach not only the required curriculum but the real-world connections and data needed to fully explain these science subjects to artistically inclined students. My goal is not just to have my students excel in the classroom but to develop into knowledgeable citizens ready to make an influential impact on the world.

Textbooks in science classes are grossly outdated.

Students are artistically and musically talented, with wonderful and unique personalities. We contain a diverse population at our school, made up of all types of ethnicities, cultures, and learners. In order for students to completely understand complex, cutting edge information involving these topics, they need access to real-time data and research via the world wide web, etc.

My Project

With this kind of technology, I will be able to provide opportunities, multiple entry points and activities that can be completed by students of all different skill levels and learning styles. In addition, this device will be utilized as an interactive tool (smart-board feature) in all classrooms and laboratory rooms. Students tend to enjoy the active learning style and perform extremely well on assessments given to them. I will also be able to engage my students with multi-media experiences which is extremely appealing to the social media generation. This opportunity given to my students will engage them mentally and physically throughout. Finally, I will be able to reach my students in an entirely different way instead of just projecting the material by the use of the chalkboard.
