Digital Resources for My Digital Natives!

Funded Dec 2, 2018

Thank you once again for the generosity you showed my class by donating to our Chromebook fund. The students are enjoying the use of them primarily for Prodigy, an online math game. That said, we recently started to use an online teaching tool called Nearpod and we're also using them to research dinosaurs for an informational book we will be writing. The next online program we are going to do is Flipgrid. I think my students, who all have GIANT, amazing personalities, will love this activity most of all!

The students are so adept and accustomed to using technology in their home lives, so the transition to including Chromebooks as part of our instruction has been truly seamless on their part. They look forward to any opportunity to use technology as a means of learning and growing as students. Sometimes, they're having so much fun engaging with the Chromebooks, that I think they forget that they're actually doing something educational!

The Chromebooks have been so beneficial for all my students, but especially for those for whom learning is a little more challenging. It kind of levels the playing field and allows them to learn and grow while broadening their knowledge base and skill set. Technology is so engaging to all students and I know it's something they look forward to using, any opportunity they get! So, thank you once again for these valuable tools that we are so fortunate to have in our classroom!”

With gratitude,

Mrs. Gainor
