I am requesting chromebooks to create a Research Center within my classroom. With this technology, I will able to incorporate research assignments into my students’ lessons and instruct them how to develop their own presentations. My students will be able to use the Research Center during their free time and during lessons to develop presentations with power point, which will then be presented in class. Research skills are a very effective tool in the attainment of information in all subjects and have always been a valuable teaching method for me as my students become more independent and technology savvy. It will make complex concepts more accessible and enjoyable. It will facilitate independence and allow my students to enhance their skills in reading, social studies, science and global issues. Additionally, the Research Center will allow me to teach my kids how to access on-line resources designed to enhance learning that they could use at home or at the library. These resources will allow the children to do their own research and offer them extra practice at home. For many of my students, their only exposure to technology is at school. My students' faces light up when they have the opportunity to independently learn and create their own materials. This enhancement will help my students to develop research skills, which will arm them with the necessary skills for advanced learning.
