Searching and researching are key components to any child's education. I am so excited to have this opportunity to bring learning into the hands of my students. The Kindle Fires, cases, and charging station would be used to help my students with looking up information regarding a science concept or the ability to engage in a deeper question about science they might have generated. These would give students the capability to complete activities in the classroom using programs such as Stemscopes and BrainPOP. At the same time, this would engage my students' thinking skills while I pose thought-provoking questions to them about what they are learning. Many students are still displaced and are still financially rebuilding from Hurricane Harvey, so technology access to complete assignments are limited. Having the Kindle Fires would give my students access to research right in the classroom for any class project such as a science play, creating an ecosystem, a quick science lab, or dissecting resources. My school is a big proponent of incorporating reading, writing, and collaboration in all content areas. My students would be able to read a science article from the Kindle Fire, write questions about it in their interactive notebook and talk with their peers allowing me to facilitate and guide my students through their inquiry.
