Funded Oct 4, 2018We are so lucky to have been able to provide these laptops for our Social Studies class through the help of all of you. On a daily basis the kids can use them to help have the world at their finger tips. The students are our future and they love to use the latest technology any way they can. This unit in social studies we are studying how the nation was shaped and all of the founding fathers who were able to make that possible. Using the laptops help the student do research and find out different information that is not available in a text book.
The most exciting thing about the new technology in our class room is that the children can use it whenever they want and its helpful for those also who don't have as much access at home. They can come up at lunch to use it. They have learned how to navigate through problems and really bring a whole new energy to learning. The students are very happy to break about from a pen and paper and find other ways to learn.
The latest stage we are in now is that we are using the computer and google classroom to drive our lessons and have the students a way to communicate with their peers through the computer. They are having very skilled conversations through online programs but they are also researching our historical blueprint.
This class has benefited from the use of the computers because it gives some of us more confidence to speak up and say our opinion. We have a lot of students (me being one of them) that gets very shy and intimidated from speaking in front of the entire room. The computers allow me to have full conversations with my peers through google classrooms and being able to comment and have a debate right on the computer. --- Isabella
We can't thank everyone enough for what this has meant to the students and myself. Every day just looking at the computer reminds us how lucky we are that all of you choose to help us.”
