My Students

Provide our children with the necessary skills to be successful in the 21st Century. Foster learning through the use of technology.

My students have special needs and come from a low socioeconomic background.

Many of them lack the necessary skills to compete successfully in the community. They attend an inner city school with limited technology available to them. Every student in our school receives a free breakfast and lunch.

My Project

My students will be excited to use up to date technology. They will become active learners through the use of their Coby tablets. They will be able to complete research projects and utilize programs geared towards education. My students will develop the skills necessary for them to be successful in our global community.

This project will highly motivate my students to want to learn and work hard.

Use of such technology will prepare them to compete in the 21st Century. They will develop their hands on experiences with computer technology.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
