My Students

The students in my classroom do not have the advantages of hands on learning through advanced technology because our technology is so old and outdated.

My students learn best when they are fully engaged.

They are highly energetic learners who are high motivated when there is technology use in the classroom. Currently teachers are preparing for the Common Core State Test which is called Smarter Balance. This test requires each student to use a Chromebook to input test answers. The majority (myself included) have never used a Chromebook and this one would help teach students the way's of the Chromebook.

My Project

Within the walls of their classrooms they feel safe and many of their responsibilities are put aside for a short while. Most, if not all, of my students live without. In school, I don't want them to feel that way. In school, I want my students to learn and achieve greatness.

In today's world people, especially kids, are drawn to technology.

This Chromebook will help me prepare my students, how to use a Chromebook to navigate the correct answers for the Smarter Balance exam.
