Chromebooks allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. The use of technology is almost a daily activity in my classroom, especially in English. Using technology in the classroom, students can research information for PBL (Project Based Learning) with Chromebooks for independent practice and I can record lessons to record modeled strategies. The Chromebooks allow me to see exactly what they are doing through Google classroom, as well as provide an easy place for them to show and share their work. What becomes a problem is the fact that the number of Chromebooks is very limited, the ones we do have hardly work or turn on, and the keys on the devices that do work don't function properly. When something goes awry, students know that they must raise their hand quietly to get assistance with the Chromebook, which then leads into almost every student raising their hand. Even though they are great about doing this, it is distracting for many of my students who have focusing issues and they miss important opportunities for independent work and being able to dig deeper into their work. By having Chromebooks, students will be able to avoid all of these problems and focus on increasing their learning! By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement. Students will be able to simply focus on the academic material at hand, and not whether their materials are going to work or not. Plus in this technology literate world, any interaction with updated technology will increase their literacy as well as their desire to learn and use the new technology!
