My Students

Living in rural communities, many of our students don't have access to the internet at home. School is their only opportunity to interact with current technology.

We are trying to teach our students how to use 21st century technology.

This is difficult, though, when we don't have enough computers.

With over 40% of our school demographic fitting the profile of "low income" and 15% of our student population needing Special Education services, our school budget is diminished very quickly, leaving little money for technology.

My Project

The internet based reading program our Special Education students use encourages them to read more, read faster, and comprehend better while still providing instruction at their learning level. The program itself works great, but we are in short supply of computers to implement the program without having to beg and borrow computers daily from other areas in the school.

By having the computers in our room, we are guaranteed access to this beneficial program every day.

Even in our current situation, we are seeing gains we might not have seen otherwise. Imagine the progress that could be attained if we had computers of our own!
