Improving Literacy with Technology!

Funded Jun 5, 2018

This year we are so excited to add technology into our curriculum. Our students are excited and eager to work with the laptops every day. Many of our students do not have the means to work on the I-ready program from home due to the lack of technology. However, these laptops will help my students become technology-oriented for the future. These laptops will also work on their reading literacy by using the I-ready program in their small groups.

My students love how beautiful and new the laptops are. As I took them out of the boxes their faces lit up with excitement. They are thrilled to be the first students to use these laptops. Some students are using laptops for the first time, so learning how to work with them is fun and challenging for them. This project has allowed me to set up a computer center in my classroom, students can access at any time.

All my students have especially warmed up to this technology project because they have never seen new laptops. They feel some ownership over these laptops and are constantly asking if they can make sure everyone logged out appropriately and if they can make sure the computer center is set up for the rest of the students. I believe this project will teach my students many different things. My students will not only learn to care for their things as well as, use technology and improve their reading skills. Thank you so much for this wonderful gift. My students will learn so much from these amazing laptops.”
