Wreckshop: Tech to Take on the World

My students need Chromebooks to continue to expand their ability to write in an ever changing and highly technologically dependent world!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Nolan's classroom raised $2,209

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students are highly motivated students who attend a selective enrollment high school on Chicago's south side. Situated in the middle of Englewood, many of our students come from all over the city to get a world class education. Students are 65% low income and over 80% of our students will be first generation college students when they graduate. Technology is huge in the classroom, and students jump at any chance to turn what they know into a creative multi-media project.

My Project

Our world is increasing technologically dependent. Preparing students to enter and change the world we live in means giving them access to the tech they need. In English 2, students spend a lot of time tackling real world issue in their analysis of literature. They are beginning to realize that writing goes beyond essays. Writing is the window to the world.

Students will use computers to take their writing beyond the essay format.

From blog posts, to website design, students will engage with the larger global society in how we talk about literature. Students have begun to brainstorm ideas for taking their writing beyond the classroom space and are excited to have the computers they need to do so. Are you willing to invest in the worlds next leaders and thinkers?
