Hello and greeting from my third grade classroom. My students are very eager to learn and are always interested in learning new things. There are a few things that hinders their learning and theses things are their very limited background knowledge and their poor vocabulary development. Many of these students never leave there own neighborhoods and are only exposed to those things that are right in the areas in which they live. Technology would be a great way to build their background knowledge and to help expose them to a rich robust vocabulary; all while in the comfort of their own classroom.
