Many of my students face multiple challenges outside of my class that prevent them from having access to computers and or modern day technology. We have a high percentage of low social economic households, some students are being raised by someone other than their parents and all of our students receive free lunch. Many of the students that we serve are latch key kids that go home only with a big brother or sister each day. My students have a very limited amount of parental support to reinforce skills that are learned during the school day. Nevertheless, my goal is to use educational technology to engage my student in a variety of subject areas in order to insure that they are ready for Kindergarten and beyond.
