My students already feel lucky that our school has upgraded their interaction with technology. The leadership in consultation with the teaching staff made a decision to upgrade our access to the tools of the 21st century. My classroom was given a set of 17 Chromebooks to use. We couldn't be happier. We were elated to receive this gift. During the first week of classes, I was giddy with professional excitement as our students began their digital journey. What if every student had this beneficial learning tool in their hands? As grateful as we are for the 17 Chromebooks, we are short about 10 units to truly say we are a 1:1 classroom. If our students could have access to a digital classroom every time they walk into Social Studies class, the results will be amazing. With every student engaged, the preparation of ethical and informed citizens would be transformed. Excitement is in the air at Penrose!
