Mrs. Thomsen from Kansas City MO is requesting technology through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Chromebooks for Creative and Connected Kids

My students need five Lenovo 11e Chromebooks for our students, in order to let their talent and creativity shine.

My Students

My students are a diverse group of gifted learners who are in a differentiated, project based learning environment. My students are challenged by the lack of available Chromebooks and would greatly benefit from having access to technology that would enable them to develop their 21st century skills.

My students are gifted learners in a program that is designed to enhance their 21st century learning skills.

They are technologically savvy and are eager to use technology in the classroom on a variety of project-based learning opportunities. As a Title I school, we have a diverse group of learners, and each brings great talents and gifts to our program.

My Project

Without enough technology, it makes it very challenging for my students to connect outside of our classroom walls and create innovative solutions for our future. We also could use these Chromebooks to design projects to compete in STEM (Science-Technology-Engineering-Mathematics) competitions and create meaningful, real-world projects. With these amazing students and more technology, the possibilities are endless! The Chromebooks would allow our students access to several tools that are already becoming indispensable to their educational experience. As a Google Apps for Education district, all students have Google Drive accounts and are using Google Docs to create, edit, and revise research projects and competition projects. Other ways the Chromebooks would be used include, but are not limited to, Google SketchUp, Lego Robotics, and websites that allow students to create their own code for website and mobile applications.

Chromebooks are an inexpensive portal to all of the tools that students are requesting to support their creative and innovative learning.

Chromebook donations will allow our students to continue to transition toward more meaningful, real-world learning experiences. Having Chromebooks will also allow my students to have more autonomy over their learning which will help their self-esteem and will foster peer collaboration, which is a school-wide goal.
