Integrating Technology with Common Core Practices

Funded Feb 15, 2016

Dear Generous Donors,

I am currently teaching 150 students with class sizes ranging from 24 to 32 students. In the math/computer classroom there are 30 PCs for the students to access the I CAN LEARN educational program, a math program that has been used with fidelity and success for the past eleven years. These computers are not online; and the current program is in-class only, not allowing them to access lessons at home if they prefer.

With your assistance in the purchase of two chrome books, I am now able to have the students utilize the online version of the program in class--in particular, the two extra students each day that are without a computer in some of my classes. Furthermore, they are able to access additional websites for assistance with their mathematics and/or create in-class projects utilizing the google docs program.

Additionally, some of my students are even staying after school to use the chrome books to get ahead on their lessons.

The purchases have been helpful to all levels of students: honors, English language learners, those in some form of special education, as well as those in the general education.

To all of the donors...my students and I thank you deeply.”

With gratitude,

Ms. Culp
