Computers. Technology. Internet. These seem so common place today, something many of us take for granted, and use (almost) everyday in the comfort of our own homes. I know I do. Researching a project or typing a paper on our sweatpants while watching "Love and Hip Hop". However, this seemingly simple tool and its available th is not something that is avaliable to the many of my students in their homes. Many of my student use public transportation, often taking multiple transfers just to get to school in the morning and home again at night. This makes it difficult and at times unsafe for them to wait at the public library for a 30-minute computer station slot and then commuting home when the library closes. Allowing my students the opportunity to complete assignments immediately after school in a safe classroom environment with adults who care and support them not only advances their academics but also meets their social-emotional needs by reducing the stress and worry associated with 'finding a computer'. Having computers in my classroom also allows me to create different types of projects and educational experiences during lessons by allowing students to interact with various multimedia applications such as webquests, educational simulations, real-time review practice, and group collaborations. Having this technology at the ready also encourages my students curiosity and supports their search for knowledge.
