My students would benefit from using Chromebooks to enhance their knowledge in Life Science and other scientific concepts. The 21st Century student must learn to navigate themselves in a technological world that is rooted in Math and Science. In order to communicate and collaborate with peers, I must expose and teach my students to think critically to the point where their creativity and innovation will help them solve problems; problems which may not even exist just yet. By using technology in Science, my students will access Federal and State Standards in Science but also in Writing & Speaking, even public speaking. For example, I will use the Chromebooks to show my students images of Plant Cells, Animal Cells, The Human Body, etc. Chromebooks give the students an opportunity to see a virtual version of a real-life living thing. The goal is to teach them the standards, but also to pique their interest in Science and Math so they will possibly pursue careers in Engineering, Science and Math.
