Having the set of Chromebooks will allow for different structures of learning in my classroom. One way they will be used is as a STEM center. Due to the natural disaster that recently occurred in Florida, the students want to research ways to filter clean water in times of need. Students can conduct research on aquifers and then design their own using nothing more than natural items. Another way they will be used is by recording the results of an experiment. 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. Additionally, I could download apps for various reading and writing practice skills for a reading and writing 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. Our classrooms are not yet at the level technologically to meet their needs as learners. This grant will help to close that gap just a little bit more.
