Having an additional chromebook will allow for different structures of learning in my classroom. One way they will be used is as a STEAM center. Students can look up pictures of catapults and then design their own using nothing more than Popsicle sticks, rubber bands, and Pom-Poms. Recently, we investigated how Gobstoppers reacted when placed in various liquids. Students could take pictures of their results at different time intervals and record observations through notes. They could collaborate on group findings by sharing through the cloud. Another way they will be used is to allow students to create their own math equations through various chrome apps. I could download apps for various math practice skills for a math center, which would allow me to have activities for both my highest performing and most struggling students.
My project will make a difference because, as I said before, these students are the digital natives. My classroom is not yet at the level technologically to meet students needs as learners. This grant will help to close that gap just a little bit more.
