I have a diverse group of learners in my classroom. Students who come from various ethnic backgrounds, but all very enthusiastic about learning.We are situated in a very tight knit community. The diversity doesn't end with our backgrounds.
Academically, I have learners of all modalities, I need to be able to meet the needs of all my students.
This group includes English Language Learners, students with disabilities, and students who exceed in their academic areas.
As I walk through this journey with my students, I plan to help them discover their capabilities and work within those capabilities to feel successful in their academic endeavors and beyond.
My Project
The use of technology is in the classroom is becoming essential as we develop 21st Century Learners for life beyond the classroom. Not only do we utilize technology to collaborate, create, and critically think, but it's utilized to gain necessary skills like keyboarding, learning to navigate and research. The utilization of technology also allows further differentiated instruction in reading and mathematics, thus providing students with academic instruction at their level.
In my classroom, at the beginning of the year, we go from learning how to login and navigate the technology to researching full projects, doing digital writing through Google Slides or Infographic programs and much more.
While I would love for every student to bring in their own Chromebook, it is just not a reality for some. Between what the school provides and what students bring in, right now we are not able to access the Chromebooks as a class throughout the week, except for one time.
As we look to close the achievement gap presented in our classrooms, one of the ways to do this, is to provide students with other opportunities through creating and bringing the learning to life. By providing Chromebooks for my students I am looking to do this exact thing. Thank you in advance for any help you are able to provide for this project.
